Syria monitor says 8 Alawites shot dead by security forces
Eight civilians from Syria’s Alawite minority were shot dead by "security checkpoint personnel" on Wednesday in the central province of Hama, a war monitor said.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor said that "security checkpoint personnel carried out a field execution of eight civilians, including three women, and injured five others -- all Alawite" travelling in "a civilian passenger bus" in the western Hama countryside.
