Syrian Security Forces Kill Two in Idlib
Syrian security forces killed two people on Saturday as they conducted searches in the northwestern province of Idlib, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The victims, a man and a woman, were killed in the town of Khan Sheikhun, the British-based group told Agence France Presse by telephone.
Syrian state news agency SANA said one member of the security forces was killed and another wounded in an ambush by an "armed terrorist group" in the same town.
It also said five members of the security forces were killed in an ambush in the central city of Homs.
At least 22 people were killed across the country on Friday as thousands of people marched to demand the ouster of President Bashar Assad.
The United Nations estimates that 2,600 people have been killed since the anti-regime protests broke out on March 15.
