Syrian opposition activists say government forces with tanks and helicopters have massacred more than 150 people, mostly civilians, in a village in Hama province.
The activists and witnesses say troops shelled the village of Treimsa Thursday before storming the area. A rebel leader put the death toll at more than 200.
State-run Syrian media say troops battled an armed group in the area and, as in previous mass killings, blamed the massacre on those it calls terrorists.
