7 Killed in Syria as More UN Monitors Arrive

Activists say Syrian forces killed at least seven people on Wednesday as a small group of U.N. observers resumed their mission to monitor a shaky truce in the government’s year-long conflict with rebels.

Human Rights Organizations say four people were killed and several wounded when security forces opened fire on a bus at a government checkpoint in the northern province of Idlib.

Syria’s state-run SANA news agency says security forces killed one “terrorist” in Idlib province after stopping an “attempted infiltration” of armed militants from Turkey. It is unclear if the report was referring to the same incident.
