Syria, Unrest | featured news

Two Reuters journalists were released by Syrian authorities on Monday, two days after they were detained in Damascus.

Two Reuters television journalists have been missing in Syria since Saturday night, when they were due to return to Lebanon.

Protesters and Syrian government forces clashed Saturday in the coastal city of Latakia, where demonstrators set fire to the offices of President Bashar Assad's ruling Baath party, an activist said.

Violence erupted as tens of thousands of Syrians took to the streets across the country, in the most widespread unrest in years.
