Rocket in Syria's Hama kills 12, wounds dozens

Security forces fired rockets that ripped through a building in Syria's central city of Hama on Wednesday, killing at least 12 people and wounding dozens more, activists said, in a bloody violation of the shaky ceasefire in the country.    

The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the Hama district of Mashaa al-Teran had been hit by heavy fire. The grassroots Local Coordination Committee put the death toll from the shelling at 15, with 30 wounded.    

Hama, a centre of revolt in the year-long uprising against President Bashar al-Assad's rule, is hosting a small team of United Nations observers, who are preparing the way for a larger U.N. mission which will arrive to monitor the ceasefire.

Earlier today, French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said France wants to see at least 300 U.N. observers on the ground in Syria within two weeks and would push for a Chapter 7 resolution at the United Nations if Damascus does not comply by early May.    

"This cannot continue indefinitely. We want to see observers in sufficient numbers, at least 300 ... deployed as quickly as possible," Juppe said.   

The minister said that May 5, when international envoy Kofi Annan is due to present a report to the Security Council on Syria, would be the "moment of truth".  

"If that does not work, we cannot allow the regime (in Syria) to defy us. We would have to move to a new stage with a Chapter 7 resolution at the United Nations to take a new step to stop this tragedy," Juppe said.
