innocent victims targeted. this is from homs where government troops have free reign, body after body, truck after truck. these were women and children stabbed, burned to death late sunday. some had their throats slit. 22 body bags in all of the 45 reported dead. we can t independently verify the video. we have a kind of confirmation from syrian state media. it broadcast images of homs which is something of departure for the regime. normally, they limit footage to police officers and security forces. now, it is showing civilian victims. on syrian state television, they blame the killings on armed terrorist groups. it s a narrative we have heard over and over from the regime. the syrian military has once again taken control of the neighborhoods in homs. the pictures you just saw may back that assessment. in the meeting with kofi annan, syria s dictator conceded nothing. the violence is being committed by armed terrorist gangs insisting his regime is not slaughtering civilians.
