World leaders condemn Syria killings
10:20 • 14.07.12
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has suggested the Syrian army "deliberately murdered civilians" in the village of Tremseh.
Up to 200 people are reported to have died in an army attack on the village, which would make it the bloodiest single event in the Syrian conflict.
However, reports suggest that a large number of the casualties were rebel fighters.
According to BBC News, the Syrian army admitted killing a "big number of terrorists" but no civilians.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said the attack casts "serious doubt" on President Assad's commitment to a peace plan.
UN observers confirmed that they saw signs of intense fighting in the area on Thursday, including the use of tanks, helicopters and heavy artillery.
The team is trying to arrange a ceasefire so it can go to the village to make a full analysis.
The US, France and UK all condemned the violence and called for co-ordinated action from the UN Security Council.
