Syrian Conflict Enters 4th Year 
--------------------------------


 
A group of Syrian Americans rallied outside the White House on Saturday
to mark the three-year anniversary of the protests that set off Syria's
civil war.

Jehad Ajlani: "If I raise the flag in this area, that gives me a lot of
satisfaction, and it shows the people in Syria that we're here for them.
They're not by themselves."

An estimated 146,000 people have been killed since the conflict began on
March 15, 2011, roughly half of them civilians. We'll have more on Syria
later in the broadcast.
