32 Killed in Continued Syrian Violence 
---------------------------------------



At least 32 people were killed in Syria on Tuesday in the latest
violence during the uprising against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
The deaths come one day after the United Nations estimated the toll
since March has surpassed 5,000. At the United Nations, deputy U.S.
Ambassador Rosemary Di Carlo criticized the U.N. Security Council for
failing to take action against the Assad regime.

Rosemary Di Carlo: "My colleagues here are in touch with Arab League, we
are very much looking forward to the results of the meetings that are
going to happen in the next few days and we will be solemnly behind them
in support of many of the things that they and we have called for in
particular an end, immediate end to all the violence. Deployment of
international Human Rights monitors, including the Commission of inquiry
and freedom of movement for journalists as well."
