Damascus: At least 60 people have been killed after the Syrian troops bombarded the capital Damascus with fighter jets, Reuters reported on Monday.
According to media reports, the Syrian fighter jets bombard the hideouts of the rebels in the suburbs of the capital, killing 60 people including women and children.
Earlier, the European Union condemned on Monday a “massacre” in the town of Daraya near Damascus, Syria, where rebels reported the discovery of hundreds of bodies.
“We regret and strongly condemn this sort of violence, it’s totally unacceptable,” Michael Mann, spokesman for EU foreign affairs High Representative Catherine Ashton, told a news briefing.
The circumstances of what opposition militants said was a brutal onslaught of shelling, summary executions and house-to-house raids by government troops, and what Mann called “disgraceful massacres, whoever they’re perpetrated by,” were “not entirely clear,” he said.
He added: “We condemn unreservedly also violence by the regime against the people of Syria.”
It is to be mentioned here that according to independent estimates more than 20, 000 people have been since the popular uprising against the Syrian regime led by President Bashar-al-Assad.
