More than 100 people, many of them children, were killed in the attack overnight between 25 and 26 May, most knifed or shot at close range.

UN investigators have said most of the dead were summarily executed, and eyewitnesses had said pro-government militias had carried out most of the killings.

The international peace envoy Kofi Annan, sent by the United Nations and the Arab League, expressed frustration on Saturday that Mr Assad was not turning his words into actions.

Nobody believes Assad and if it wasnt for Russia and China, the UN would have already helped the people who are sick of this tyranny.
