AMMAN (Reuters) - Security forces killed over 40 people
in Syria on Friday, activists and residents said, as people in Homs
mourned 14 members of a family they said were slain by militiamen in one
of the worst sectarian attacks in a 10-month revolt.
The U.N. Security Council discussed a new European-Arab draft resolution aimed at halting 10 months of bloodshed.
Russia, which joined China in vetoing a previous Western draft
resolution in October and which has since promoted its own draft, said
the European-Arab version was unacceptable in its present form but added
that it was willing to "engage" on it.
There was no let-up in violence on Friday, when anti-Assad protests again erupted after weekly Muslim prayers.
Tank and mortar fire killed 15 people in Hama, a resident said, on
the fourth day of an army assault on rebellious districts of the city,
where Assad's father crushed an armed Islamist uprising in 1982, killing
many thousands.
