More deaths as Syrian protests continue - Middle East - Al Jazeera English: "Syrian security forces have opened fire on thousands of anti-government protesters in eastern and southern towns, killing at least eight people in an attempt to quell an uprising raging for the past five months.
The protests came on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan, a time when many protesters hoped would serve as a breaking point for President Bashar al-Assad's government. Instead, the government's crackdown has intensified dramatically.
