United Nations: The UN Security Council has called an emergency meeting
to discuss the massacre in Syria's Houla town that left over 100
people dead, many of them children.
The city was shelled by troops loyal to Syrian President Bashar
Al-Assad, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights
said.
Syrian authorities Sunday denied the involvement of government
forces in the Houla massacre.
Jihad Makdissi, spokesperson for the Syrian ministry of foreign
affairs, said the government has established a commission to
investigate the events in Houla.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said the tragic
events in Houla require careful investigation as there was
information that the wounds of many victims were not the result of
shelling.
