The brutal civil war in Syria claimed more than 6,000 lives in March alone -- making it the deadliest month since the conflict began a little more than two years ago, the opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported Monday. The group said 6,005 people were killed in Syria last month. That's more than all the deaths that occurred in the first nine months of the war, according to a report of CNN. Some 62,554 people, the opposition group says, have died in the conflict so far. The United Nations has put the figure higher. In February, it said more than 70,000 people are believed to have been killed. March's death toll, the observatory says, includes 298 children, 291 women,1,486 Opposition fighters and 1,464 (Al-Assad) regime's soldiers.
