Syrian troops kill 10 in eastern city

BEIRUT: Activists say Syrian security forces have shot dead at least 10 people in an eastern city despite the presence of an Arab observer mission in the area.

Tuesday's violence in Deir el-Zour comes as Syrian President Bashar Assad vowed in his first speech since June to respond to threats with an "iron hand" and refused to step down, insisting he still has his people's support despite a 10-month-old revolt.

Kuwait's official news agency also reported that a group of Arab League observers were attacked in the northern city of Latakia on Monday and two Kuwaiti army officers were lightly injured.

The observers' mission is to monitor compliance with an Arab League plan to stop violence after a 10-month uprising and a bloody crackdown on protesters.
