a new massacre in Syria

Akram sent me this:
"Yesterday evening, ten people of one family, Razzouk, were killed when a shell fell on their house in Al-Dmayina Al-Sharqyia in what the state-run Syrian TV called a "terrorist offense".

Al-Dmayina Al-Sharqyia is a Syrian village of 3000 residents all of them are Greek Catholics. The village is 5 KM to the south of the city of Homs on the road to Al-Qusayr. It's not clear yet whether this assault was the result of a clash between the armed groups and the military checkpoint located at the entrance of the village or an attempt to displace the village's residents in the context of a sectarian cleansing campaign of the region."
