SNC warns of possible massacre in Homs

KUWAIT, June 16 (KUNA) -- Syrian opposition National Council (SNC) Saturday warned that the Syrian regime was ready to carry out another massacre in Homs, with the regime benefiting from international division over the conflict in the troubled country.
The SNC, in a statement through its Facebook account, warned the UN and the UN Security Council (UNSC) member against prolonged silence over the "genocide and crimes against humanity taking pace before the whole world." Homs, which has been attacked heavily, has been surrounded by around 2,000 army forces and pro-government thugs who were equipped tanks, artillery and helicopters, said SNC.
Reports from Homs, said SNC, indicated that the government forces were ready to launch a "barbaric" attack that might cause a massacre among citizens. (end) om.bs KUNA 162057 Jun 12NNNN
