Security forces fire on protests in Syria - Middle East - Al Jazeera English: "Security forces in Syria have again used deadly force to clamp down on protests as citizens gathered across the country for Friday prayers and to call for the end of President Bashar al-Assad's government, according to activists and witnesses in the country.

At least 17 people have reportedly been killed in a number of cities and towns, including Douma, Aleppo, Homs, Hama and Deir ez-Zor.

Security forces fired on protesters in the Midan district of Damascus, one activist said, though he added that he could not see if anyone had been injured or killed.

In two other suburbs of the capital, Douma and Saqba, five people were reportedly killed, he said."
