The death toll from a Syrian government crackdown on opposition protesters continues to rise. At least 15 people were killed Wednesday when forces raided a mosque housing protesters in the early morning hours. But there have been reports the death toll may be significantly higher. Amnesty International is reporting the Syrian government has swept up dissident students, intellectuals, journalists and activists over the past several weeks.
