| Syrian troops attack Deraa, cradle of uprising |
| 2012-02-17 |
Syrian troops on Thursday attacked rebel strongholds in Deraa where the uprising against  Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneckal-Assad Lord of the Baath... erupted nearly a year ago, and the UN chief said crimes against humanity had almost certainly been committed in Syria. Â The assault on Deraa followed a thrust against rebels in the cities of Hama and Homs, which has faced nearly two weeks of bombardment from Assad's forces, in an apparent campaign to crush the revolt against his repressive rule. |
