Anti-Syrian government protesters, stand next to burning tires as they protest in the southern city of Daraa, Syria, Wednesday March 23, 2011. Syrian security forces shot live ammunition and tear gas early Wednesday near a mosque where protesters have been camped out in southern Syria, killing six people including a paramedic, activists said.
