Residents
tell grim story of assault on Syrian city

(Reuters) - Residents of the city of Deraa, cradle of the pro-democracy protests
that have swept Syria, painted a chilling picture on Monday of an assault by
security forces using tanks, heavy artillery and machine guns.
Artillery pounded the town, electricity and most telephone lines were cut and
soldiers took over mosques and other key locations, residents reported.
Foreign correspondents are being kept out of Syria so the reports could not be
verified,
but residents contacted by telephone painted a consistent picture of a
ruthless attempt
to subjugate the city through military force.
(...)
Witnesses described how black-clad snipers took up positions on high government
buildings.
"It's terrifying and shows the authorities will not spare anyone to subdue
people and end our resistance and yearning for freedom," said one witness.
Asked whether the residents were fighting back -- Deraa is a region where tribal
traditions of vengeance are strong -- Abu Salem said that, until Monday, most
residents had resisted calls to avenge the dozens of deaths.
"Defenseless people
cannot just watch
as they get slaughtered.
There is hardly a family that does not have a martyr
now," he said.

U.S.
drone strike kills 25 in Pakistan's North Waziristan

PESHAWAR,
Pakistan (Reuters) - Four missiles fired by two suspected
U.S. pilotless aircraft hit a house in Pakistan's tribal
region of North Waziristan on the Afghan border on Friday, killing 25 militants,
Pakistani intelligence officials said.
The drone strike happened in Mir Ali, a town about 35 kilometers (20 miles) east
of the region's main town of Miranshah.
An intelligence official in the region, who requested not to be identified, told
Reuters that the house was being used as a militant hideout.
"They (the militants) have surrounded the area where the attack happened and are
not allowing anybody to go there," he said, adding 25 bodies had been recovered
from the rubble and three women were among those killed.
Another official said some foreign militants were among the dead, but that their
numbers and nationalities could not confirmed.
The strike came two days after a visit to Islamabad by Admiral Mike Mullen, the
top U.S. military official, in which he expressed concern over continuing links
between Pakistan's main intelligence agency, the ISI, and militants attacking
U.S.-led forces across the border in Afghanistan.
North Waziristan is a known sanctuary for al Qaeda and Taliban militants near
the Afghan border.
The United States has been using drone attacks to target al Qaeda-linked
militants over the past few years in Pakistan's lawless tribal areas, a source
of concern for the Pakistan government, which says civilian casualties stoke
public anger and bolster support for militancy.
