Syrian Security Forces Fire On Rallies, Killing 30

Syrian security forces opened fire on protesters and hunted them down in house-to-house raids, killing about 30 people in what was the deadliest day in weeks in the country’s 7-month-old uprising, activists have said.

The popular revolt against Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime has proved remarkably resilient, with protests erupting every week despite the near-certainty the government will respond with bullets and tear gas. The U.N. estimates the regime crackdown on the protests has killed 3,000 people since March.
