Syrian Forces Kill 7 Protesters 
--------------------------------



At least seven people have been killed in the latest Syrian government
attack on opposition protesters. The deaths came in three towns where
supporters of President Bashar al-Assad clashed with opposition
activists. Assad announced a new amnesty measure on Monday, but human
rights groups say thousands remain behind bars and hundreds more have
been arrested.
