Washington, Jumada II 6, 1434, Apr 16, 2013, SPA - The United States on Monday condemned in the strongest terms the killing of 30 children in the Qaboon neighborhood of Damascus. “We are horrified by the reports [of] at least 30 children were killed in violence across the country yesterday, including many who were subject to the regime’s aerial bombardment in the Qaboon neighborhood of Damascus,” State Department deputy spokesman Patrick Ventrell told reporters. “The regime’s actions show not only disregard for the lives of its most vulnerable citizens but a complete disregard for international conventions on the rights and protection of children,” Ventrell added. --SPA 11:24 LOCAL TIME 08:24 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/1099230
