Syria crisis: Houla ‘massacre leaves 90 dead’
At least 90 people, including many children, have been killed in Syria’s restive Homs province, opposition activists say, calling it a “massacre”.
They said scores were wounded in the violence in Houla, as government forces shelled and attacked the town.
Shocking footage has emerged of the bodies of children killed as part of one the bloodiest attacks in one area since a nominal truce began in April.

The opposition Syrian National Council (SNC) said more than 110 people died and urged the UN Security Council to act, AFP news agency reported.
Among the dead were more than 56 children, the SNC’s Ausama Monajed told the BBC.
He said the regime was selecting vulnerable towns to “teach the entire country a lesson”.
