The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said a group of army deserters had
carried out the attack in Maaret al-Numan, located in Syria’s Idlib province.
The army has since March 9 carried out an offensive in the mountainous region
near the Turkish border, in a bid to seize control of the city of Idlib and
other towns of the province where rebels are based.
Dozens of people have been killed since last week in on-off army shelling of
the city, which is now partly controlled by the regime, and in violence
across the province.
On Monday, the army bombed the Dbeit and Ath-Thawra districts of Idlib,
blasting several buildings, an anti-regime activist at the scene, Yasser,
told AFP.
A top UN official said on Monday that more than 8,000 people have died in the
Syrian government’s crackdown on protests.
Nassir Abdulaziz al-Nasser, the president of the UN General Assembly, also
said that the 193-member assembly was ready to act on Syria if the UN
Security Council remains deadlocked on taking action on the crisis.
“The conditions in Syria are appalling,” Nasser said in a speech to
the European parliament in Strasbourg.
“Over 8,000 people have been killed so far, including many women and
children. Violations of human rights are widespread and systematic,”
the Qatari official added in the speech, whose text was released by his New
York office.
The UN leadership had so far indicated that well over 7,500 people have been
killed in Syria in the past year. Rights monitors say there have been more
than 8,500 fatalities.
Russia and China have twice used their power as permanent members of the UN
Security Council to veto council resolutions on Syria. Because of the
divide, Arab nations had a resolution condemning President Bashar al-Assad
passed at the UN General Assembly in February.
“Should the Security Council remain deadlocked, I can assure you that the
General Assembly stands ready to take further action,” said Nasser, who
will be the assembly president until September.
