More than 100 persons were killed in police gunfire in Syria’s southern city of Daraa, human rights activists and witnesses said on Thursday.



“There are definitely more than 100 dead and the city will need a week to bury its martyrs,” said human rights activist Ayman al-Asswad in Daraa.



Asswad said security forces had “used real bullets” when firing against demonstrators on Wednesday in Daraa, 120 km south of Damascus, and a second activist put the figure as high as “more than 150” killed.



“It was a very difficult, bloody day,” said a resident of Daraa. “There is a state of undeclared curfew in Daraa, whenever troops see four or five more people gathered they open fire,” he said.

NATO should bomb them also.
