US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad on July 17 on his administration's violent crackdown on anti-government protesters since the demonstrations began three months ago. Mrs. Clinton was speaking alongside the Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu at a news conference in Istanbul, Turkey in which she urged the government to enter into dialogue with the opposition. "Yesterday, we witnessed the largest demonstration up to date in Syria and effort to try to convey directly to the government the pent-up desire Syrian people for the kind of reforms that they have promised and at the same time we saw continued brutality by the government against peaceful protests. Now Syria's future is up to the Syrian people but of course the efforts by the opposition to come together to organize to articulate an agenda are important parts of political reform," she said during the news conference. On July 15, security forces reportedly killed at least 32 civilians, as well as 23 in the Syrian capital Damascus as, according to activists, thousands of people took to the streets in a growing challenge to Mr. Assad's tyrannical rule. A National Salvation Conference was scheduled to take place in Damascus with important Syrian opposition members but the meeting was cancelled after the brutal crackdown.

On Sunday, unknown gunmen opened fire on the Egyptian border security guards at a checkpoint near the Karm Abu Salem border crossing, killing at least 16 security personnel and injuring several others. Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi called an emergency meeting with the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces following the incident on Sunday, the Egyptian state media reported. "President Morsi says that this cowardly attack will not go without a response... and that those who committed this crime will pay dearly," said a statement issued late on Sunday by the Egyptian president's office. After killing the border guards at a checkpoint near the Karm Abu Salem border crossing, the militants, who were wearing traditional Bedouin clothing, seized two armored vehicles and quickly drove off the scene. Witnesses said the militants also fired rocket-propelled grenades at the Egyptian army checkpoint. Meanwhile, an official of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas declared that, "The border between Egypt and Gaza is protected. We closed the tunnels to prevent anyone from escaping (into Gaza) and we have put our forces on alert." In Israel, a spokesman for the armed forces said that one of the vehicles exploded while trying to cross the Rafah border. The other vehicle was reportedly hit by an Israeli airstrike. Egypt has been trying to secure its borders following last year's revolution, which resulted in the ouster of Hosni Mubarak. Watch this video on our Website: www.presstv.com <b>...</b>
