Syrian Christians under rebel siege
According to television reports in Lebanon, all 12,000 or so residents of the Christian-populated Syrian village of Rabla in
Homs Province are under watertight siege by anti-government rebels.
After 10 days of siege, the people have run out of supplies but cannot leave for fear of being machine-gunned.
Many analysts fear that the Syrian conflict may result in a bloody communal mess involving the governing Alawites, the majority Sunnis, the Christians and the Kurdish community.
