Amman, Feb. 22: Brutality at its it best and humanity at its worst, thanks to geo-political wrangle between powers helping the merciless Syrian dictator President Bashar al-Assad.
According to reports coming from besieged city of Homs, Syrian troops captured and killed 27 innocent young men in northern village and two journalist were killed when a rocked hit the house.
One journalist was Marie Colvin, an American working for Britain's Sunday Times newspaper, and the other was French photographer Remi Ochlik.
The Syrian network of Human Rights on Wednesday said, all 27 were civilians and were mostly shot in head or chest in villages near Turkey border.
Although this incident of killing in one in a series of many executed in last few months, but the latest one in reaction to the U.S. administrations offer to arm the opposition for the non-political solution.
"We still believe that a political solution is what's needed in Syria," White House spokesman Jay Carney said.
"We don't want to take actions that would contribute to the further militarization of Syria, because that could take the country down a dangerous path. But we don't rule out additional measures," Carney said.
Some 70 country representatives are expected to meet on Friday in Tunis under the "Friends of Syria" initiative to find way to stop atrocity. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will meet representatives.
Politics and economics of arms trade apart, no body seems to be worried about the innocent killings.
