At least 45 women and children were killed in the Syrian city of Homs late Sunday, according to a spokesman for the Syrian Revolution General Council. The killings occurred in the Homs neighborhood of Karm al Zaytoun, according to the Local Coordination Committees of Syria, an opposition activist network. Hadi Abdallah, a spokesman for the Syrian Revolution General Council, told CNN there were 47 victims -- all stabbed to death and burned after "Syrian forces and thugs" stormed their homes. The LCC described the killings as a "massacre orchestrated by the regime" of President Bashar Al-Assad.
