Syrian unrest: Troops move into other towns, arrest protesters

The mess in Syria stays messy: While troops recently started pulling out of the city of Daraa — a flash point for the initial unrest in the country — after doing what it could to "crush" the protesters (though some protesters deny that they've left), it appears troops are moving elsewhere. In the clip above, Syrian troops appear to be moving into the Damascus suburb of Saqba. Hundreds were reportedly arrested. A protest took place there last Friday after residents' weekly prayer, so the timing is of note. Troops also moved into the coastal town of Banias, home to one of Syria's oil refineries. This is far from over. source
