22 more killed in Syria

Syrian police assaulted anti government protesters in the southern city of DARAA, killing 15 activists. Six more people were also killed in Daraa, at the al-Omari mosque. One of them was a 12 year old girl. A man was killed at the funeral for one of the slain. And finally, four bodies werefound around the offices of a security agency. And a partridge in a pear tree.  Uprisings in Daraa and neighboring towns have been Syria’s worst domestic challenge since 1970. Protesters used social-networking sites to call for mass demonstrations around the country on Friday. Let’s hope that this doesn’t end in another slaughter.
