Clinton Condemns ‘Rule by Murder’


No more, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Sunday after a massacre in Syria by government forces left 32 children and more than 60 other people dead. “Those who perpetrated this atrocity must be identified and held to account,” Clinton said. “And the United States will work with the international community to intensify our pressure on Assad and his cronies, whose rule by murder and fear must come to an end.” British Foreign Secretary William Hague also said he wanted to see a “strong response” to the brutal attack. Syrian Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi denied that Syrian forces perpetrated the attack, saying that the killing of women and children is not “the hallmark of the heroic Syrian Army.”
