The reported mass killings are likely to ignite more anger nearly two weeks after the massacre of more than 100 people elsewhere in Syria as an international peace plan unravels and the country spirals toward civil war. The exact circumstances of the violence in Hama were impossible to independently confirm. Rami Abdul- Rahman, the head of the Britain- based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said he had gathered the names of 23 people killed in shelling and other attacks. But the Local Co- ordination Committees, an activist group, said at least 86 were dead. Abdul- Rahman called on UN observers to visit the area immediately. " Do not wait until tomorrow in order to investigate this latest massacre," he said. Hama was the site of a notorious massacre in 1982, when Assad's father and predecessor, Hafez, ordered the military to quell a Sunni rebellion. Amnesty International has estimated between 10,000 and 25,000 people were killed in the siege, though conflicting figures exist and the Syrian government has never made an official estimate. Activists say as many as 13,000 people have been killed in Assad's crackdown against the anti- government uprising that began in March 2011 with mostly peaceful protests but morphed into an armed insurgency amid a violent regime crackdown. The violence in Syria has grown increasingly chaotic in recent months, and it is difficult to assign blame for much of the bloodshed. The government restricts journalists from moving freely, making it nearly impossible to independently verify accounts from either side. Wednesday's reports of violence in Hama came on the heels of a horrific massacre on May 25 and 26 in Houla, a cluster of villages in the central Homs province. Although Syria has seen relentless violence for more than a year, the Houla massacre stands out for its sheer brutality. Many of the dead were women and children who were gunned down in their homes. UN investigators have blamed pro- government gunmen for at least some of the killings. The Syrian regime has denied responsibility and blamed rebels for the attacks. The international community has condemned Assad over the crackdown, but the U. S. and its allies have little leverage in Syria. Western leaders have pinned their hopes on diplomatic pressure by special envoy Kofi Annan, with the U. S. and others unwilling to get deeply involved in another Arab nation in turmoil - particularly one as unpredictable as Syria. The conflict is among the most explosive of the Arab Spring, in part because of Syria's web of allegiances to powerful forces including Lebanon's Hezbollah and Shiite powerhouse Iran. - The Associated Press Mubarak very ill CAIRO, Egypt - Days after he was sentenced to life in prison, Hosni Mubarak's health sharply deteriorated Wednesday, and specialists were evaluating whether to transfer him to a betterequipped hospital outside the penal system, security officials said. The deposed leader's health scare added to the uncertainty engulfing Egypt, where powerful political groups are seeking to bar Mubarak's former prime minister from the presidential runoff and derail the election. Officials at Cairo's Torah prison said the 84- year- old Mubarak's condition had moved to a " dangerous" phase and doctors administered oxygen five times to help him breathe. He was also suffering from shock, high blood pressure and severe depression, according to officials who spoke on condition of anonymity. Brutality sudden MIAMI - There was no indication the man who chewed off the face of a homeless man had a history of mental illness or was using drugs other than marijuana, the attacker's girlfriend said Wednesday. Yovonka Bryant said Rudy Eugene never showed any signs of violence during their fourmonth relationship. They often read the Bible and the Qur'an together, and often watched a religious television program in the mornings. Taliban strike KANDAHAR, Afghanistan - Scores of Afghans were killed Wednesday in Taliban bombings and other violence including a NATO airstrike, highlighting persistent instability across the country as foreign troops begin their drawdown more than a decade after the U. S.- led invasion. The deadliest attack took place in the southern city of Kandahar, killing 22 people. - The Associated Press THE World Dozens killed in Syrian ' massacre' By Elizabeth A.
