The United States condemns in the
strongest possible terms yesterday's massacre in the Syrian village of Haoula.
United Nations observers have confirmed that dozens of men, women, and children
were killed and hundreds more wounded in a vicious assault that involved a
regime artillery and tank barrage on a residential neighborhood.
Those who perpetrated this atrocity must
be identified and held to account. And the United States will work with the
international community to intensify our pressure on Asad and his cronies,
whose rule by murder and fear must come to an end.
We stand in solidarity with the Syrian
people and the peaceful marchers in cities across Syria who have taken to the
streets to denounce the massacre in Haoula.
