Russia 'categorically against' Syria intervention
Russia is "categorically against" foreign intervention in Syria and believes any new steps by the UN Security Council would be "premature", its deputy foreign minister has said.

International outrage has been expressed at the massacre of 108 people - mostly women and children - in Houla.
