A man by the name of Sheikh Mohammed Fardoun told CNN in a phone interview that he had a list of 18 relatives that were all killed in one day by one airstrike on Thursday. The Syrian government had ordered more shelling of his city. He ran outside to find his aunts home completely destroyed to the ground with his relatives inside, dead. Sheikh tells CNN that this is indiscriminate killing. Syria's Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi and a Free Syrian Army general said Thursday they are open to a proposal by U.N. and Arab League for a cease-fire during the Muslim holiday of Eidul Ad'ha. This cease-fire would last begin on October 25th. This doesn't satisfy any of the resisdents in these bombed areas because they believe a cease-fire is not what they should be negotiating but rather a no-fly zone. Kids are being massacred every day and the rebels can only defend their people with bullets. What they need is a no-fly zone so more innocent don't die anymore. More and more of the killings in Syria have been civilians rather then soldiers. Also now people are accusing the government of kidnapping thousands of activist in the group called "Avaaz" in the past 19 months and sending them to torture camps. The situation is only getting worse and the government insist that it's only trying to secure it's country from "armed terrorist groups."
