Unknown gunmen killed nine Syrian policemen on Monday in a AlMuzeireeb village, state media and an opposition war monitor said.
The attack occurred in the province of Daraa where Syria’s anti-government uprising began in March 2011 before morphing into a war that has killed more than 400,000 people and displaced half the country’s population.
Syria’s state news agency SANA said that the nine policemen were killed in the village of Muzeireeb by armed gunmen who attacked them while they were on duty. It listed the names of the dead policemen without giving further details.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor, reported that a group of unknown gunmen kidnapped the nine policemen before shooting them dead and leaving their bodies in one of the village’s streets.
