Mines laid on Syria borders as Annan waits Assad response

Syrian government forces have laid mines in areas near the borders of Lebanon and Turkey, where many Syrians fleeing the conflict took refuge, said the organization Human Rights Watch on Tuesday. HRW said this information is based on many testimonies by Syrian refugees in Turkey and Lebanon.

"Making use of landmines is an unscrupulous behavior," said Steve Goose, HRW deputy director in charge of weapons issues. "There is absolutely no justification for the use of such weapons by any country, whatsoever, under any circumstances for any purpose," he added.
