Syrian Officials Killed Over Bloody Weekend

Over the weekend, a Syrian state prosecutor and a state judge were gunned down in their car, along with at least fourteen other people. The government is once again blaming "terrorists," claiming they are attempting to overthrow the Syrian regime. This comes in the midst of an incredibly dangerous time in Syria; there have been an incredible amount of deaths in the past year, and unfortunately it does not seem to be stopping any time soon. How will the Arab League respond to all of the civil unrest? If no action is taken in the near future, will other countries intervene? The next few months in the Middle East, and in particular, Syria, look to be filled with more killings unless some sort of action is taken.
