Turkey protests as Syrians open fire at border

Turkey has protested after Syrian forces opened fire across the
border, in the first such attack since Turkey began housing refugees
from the unrest.
Ankara summoned Syria's envoy after two incidents in which violence
spilled over into Turkey, leaving at least two people dead and many
injured.
Separately, a Lebanese cameraman was shot dead on theSyria-Lebanon border.
The violence comes amid fading hopes that a UN-brokered Syria
ceasefire will start on Tuesday as planned.
Monday has proved to be one of the bloodiest days of the uprising
despite the truce deal, which should be marked by troop withdrawals
from towns and cities if it is being implemented.
Activists reported more than 100 deaths - among them at least 30
civilians who died during Syrian army bombardment in the central
province of Hama.
Harrowing scenes were reported in the town of al-Latmana, where 17
women and eight children were said to have been crushed under the
rubble of their homes in the second attack on the area in days.
The deaths come as a report by Human Rights Watch accused Syrian
forces of carrying out morethan 100 summary executions since March.
The report says most of the victims were civilians/
