Both government and opposition forces were responsible for this
weekend’s massacre in the Syrian town of Houla, Russian Foreign
Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Monday, RIA-Novosti reports.
“There can be no doubt that the authorities used artillery and tanks,”
RIA-Novosti quotes Lavrov after talks with his UK counterpart William Hague in
Moscow.
At least 108 people, around a third of them children, were killed on
Saturday in Houla, near the former rebel stronghold city of Homs,
according to United Nations observers.
