UN: Syrian forces shot at monitors trying to get to scene of latest massacre


Anti-Syrian regime protesters chant slogans and hold a banner in Arabic that reads, "Al-Qubair massacre challenges the world's humanity," during a protest against the massacre of Mazraat al-Qubair, in the northern village of Hass, in Idlib province, Syria, Thursday June 7, 2012. Syria on Thursday denied as "absolutely baseless" claims by opposition groups about a new massacre in the central Hama province in which government forces allegedly killed dozens of people, including women and children.
UNITED NATIONS — U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says U.N. monitors were shot at trying to get to the scene of the latest Syrian massacre.
The U.N. chief told the General Assembly on Thursday that the unarmed observers were initially denied access to the scene in central Hama and "were shot at with small arms" while trying to get there. He did not mention any casualties.
Ban said each day in Syria sees more "grim atrocities" and for many months it has been evident that President Bashar Assad and his government "have lost all legitimacy."
Ban said any regime that tolerates killings such as last month's massacre of more than 100 civilians in Houla and Wednesday's attack in Hama "has lost its fundamental humanity," and he condemned "this unspeakable barbarity."
