Syria braces for shift as Russia hedges on Assad
In Moscow after a meeting with William Hague, Sergey Lavrov hinted Russia may distance itself from Damascus. Analysts caution Bashar al Assad risks losing Moscow's backing as UN reports attribute 108 deaths in Houla to heavy shelling and possible close-range shootings amid government and rebel clashes. The UN Security Council blamed artillery and tank fire but did not assign all blame. Locals report pro-government gunmen struck the area after an artillery onslaught, killing men in streets and women and children in homes. Damascus denies the account.
