Dozens of bodies found in besieged Syria town

AFP – Dozens of bodies were found on Saturday in a besieged town near Damascus where Syrian troops have been waging fierce attacks to try to crush rebel holdouts in the capital, a monitoring group said. At least 15 civilians, including two women and three children, were also killed on Saturday in the town.

Syrian army forces launched fresh raids and clashed with rebels in the southwestern belt of Damascus on Saturday in what activists say is a renewed bid to crush the insurgency in the capital “once and for all”. Combat helicopters and tanks also fired on rebel-held areas in the battered northern city.
