Syrian regime in show of force as revolt enters 2nd year

Tens of thousands of Syrians demonstrated Thursday in support of President Bashar al-Assad, in a show of force on the first anniversary of the Syrian uprising.

As these mass rallies were held in several cities, including Damascus, the regime's forces intensified their deadly offensive on rebel strongholds, including Idleb (northwest) killing 13 people, and dispersing demonstrations against the regime.

In total, the opposition believes that violence has killed more than 9,000 people, mostly civilians, since March 15, 2011.
