HRW: Syrian missiles kill hundreds of civilians

BEIRUT (AP) — Human Rights Watch says the Syrian military is firing ballistic missiles into populated areas where it is battling rebels, killing hundreds of civilians.

The U.S.-based group said in a report released Monday that it has investigated nine apparent missile attacks that killed at least 215 people, half of them children, between February and July.

HRW activists visited seven sites of the nine attacks. There were no apparent military targets near the inspected sites, the group said in a statement, calling on President Bashar Assad to stop indiscriminate attacks.

Government officials could not immediately be reached for comment. The military has repeatedly denied it is targeting civilians during the 2-year conflict, saying its troops are fighting “terrorists” hiding in civilian areas.

The Syrian people have been stitched up by the UN and abandoned by the Muslim Rulers.

the Syrian regime has been given so much time by UN and the NATO nations to finish the syrian revolution you start to wonder if actually they are in Assads corner like they was in hosni Mubarak's corner even up to last minute of him in power.

The atrocities conducted by both parties in this war need to be condemned.
