More than 100 people have reportedly been shot, stabbed or potentially burned to death during a massacre by government-aligned forces in the Syrian city of Homs. The attack in a poor area near the city’s edge killed 106 people, some of them children, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Many homes were set on fire, and some of the victims’ bodies appeared to have been burned. It was unclear whether the attackers were part of the Syrian army or members of a militia loyal to President Bashar al-Assad. Widespread violence was reported Thursday across Syria, with continued bombings by government planes and clashes between troops and anti-government rebels.
