Syrian diplomats expelled

Massacre in Houla

The Syrian diplomats on Tuesday were expelled by the US and seven other countries across the globe following the massacre, which left more than 100 people dead, nearly half of them children in the town of Houla.
According to a report, what is clear is government forces were involved. They were shelling, using tanks and artillery. And it appears to be Shabiha militia (a government militia group), entering houses and slaughtering people in what is really an abominable crime that took place throughout the day on Friday."

Syria has denied being behind the killings, insisting that "terrorists" carried them out. Syrian officials said the government would investigate.

The bloodshed continued Tuesday, when at least 46 people were killed across the country, the opposition Local Coordination Committees of Syria said.
