The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said the village of Mzraat al-Qabeer and the neighboringtown of Maazarif, about 20 kilometers from Hama, had been bombardedby Syrian forces. "After the bombings, the Shabiha members (the pro-Assadmilitia) were directed to this area and massacred tens ofcivilians, including women and children," added the SOHR.

"They should not wait until tomorrow to investigate this newmassacre," said the Observatory said in a statement."They should not pretend that their mission is only to observethe cease-fire, because many massacres were committed during theirpresence in Syria."
