Syrian Forces Attack Two Villages Near Baniyas -- Washington Post

CAIRO — Two northern Syrian villages near the Mediterranean port of Baniyas came under fierce attack by government forces Tuesday, according to witnesses and activists, as President Bashar al-Assad’s government intensified efforts to suppress an apparently strengthening protest movement.

An unknown number of protesters were killed and many more injured, according to people reached by telephone in Syria. The state-run Syrian Arab News Agency also reported that seven of the nine soldiers killed in street battles near Baniyas on Sunday were buried Tuesday.
