Syria's Bloodiest Day of Protests
Jim Newell · 04/22/11 02:47PMProtesters in Syria came out in coordinated masses across the country to protest today, but the government's police apparatus was prepared to meet them—with live ammunition. Unconfirmed estimates of between 40 and 70 deaths are being reported, making it the bloodiest day in the five weeks since protests began.
