VOA News - At Least 13 Killed in Syrian Protest Violence, Nov 11, 2011

Demonstrators protesting against Syria's President Bashar al-Assad gather in Deraa, in this undated handout released November 11, 2011.

"Human rights activists say Syrian forces have killed at least 13 people during anti-government protests around the country Friday, as the government faces new accusations that it may be guilty of "crimes against humanity."
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says most of Friday's casualties occurred in the Homs region. Security forces have launched a series of raids in the city in search of dissidents, and activists said Syrian soldiers also were killed in an apparent ambush.
The casualty figures could not be independently verified because Syria bars most foreign journalists from operating in the country."
