A mob ransacked the Syrian Embassy in Australia after reports of the bloodiest episode yet in Syria’s nearly yearlong crackdown on dissent, AP reports.
The attack in Australia’s capital, Canberra, follows at least six others at Syrian embassies in Europe and the West Asia. Officials said about 50 men smashed through the embassy’s front door on Saturday, destroyed furniture and stole computers.
