Syrian women curse President Assad
Women fleeing Jisr al-Shughour curse Syria's President Bashar al-Assad and describe how their town was attacked by planes and tanks.
The veiled woman says: "They poisoned our water and killed our men and children." Another woman tells how four cousins have been killed and two children have been wounded.
Demonstrations against the rule of the president and his family - inspired by the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt - have so far reportedly left more than 1,000 dead and hundreds injured.
