Daily Roundup: Syrian security forces target Hama – Global Public Square - CNN.com Blogs: "Syrian President Bashar al-Assad unleashed government security forces (WSJ) on the central Syrian city of Hama, killing over a dozen anti-government protesters and wounding at least forty. The crackdown came as opposition figures received an invitation from the Assad government to join in a so-called national dialogue next week.
Hama, which endured a brutal government crackdown by Assad's father in the early 1980s, has become a key center of peaceful dissent (NYT) in Syria, contributing to the government's uncertain strategy over how to proceed against the protesters."
