DTN News - SYRIA UNREST: 2 Killed As Syrian Forces Fire On Protesters....NSI News Source Info # 2124The fatalities occurred in al-Kasweh, a suburb of the capital, Damascus, and in the central city of Homs, said Omar Idilbi of the Local Coordination Committees, which track the Syrian protests. Protests in several other provinces also came under fire but it was not immediately clear whether there were casualties, Idilbi said.
"Our revolution is strong! Assad has lost legitimacy!" protesters chanted in the Damascus suburb of Zabadani, according to video posted on YouTube.
The military crackdown has failed to silence a pro-democracy movement that has now lasted more than 100 days.
In northern Syria, activists said at least 15,000 people held a protest on the highway linking the country's two main cities, Damascus and Aleppo. Thousands marched in Amouda and Qamishli in the northeast and in other provinces, Syria-based human rights activist Mustafa Osso said.
Dissidents reported a strong security presence in many locations. In Homs, all roads leading to the city center were reported blocked.
The suburban Damascus protesters also carried a banner that read, "Oh germs and rats of the world, unite," taking up terms used by Assad, who likened some of Syria's troubles to a "germ" to be fought off, and Libyan leader Moammar Ghadafi, who described his country's protesters as rats.
