Syria: 24 dead in anti-regime protests, including children

Syrian security forces fired on anti-government demonstrations across the country on Friday, killing at least 24 people – including several children – as the regime tries to choke off a 9-month-old uprising, activists said.

Some of the worst violence was reported in Homs, a city in central Syriathat has emerged as the epicenter of the revolt against President Bashar Assad. (AP)
