Brotherhood urges foreign action in Syria

DHAKA: Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood called on Arab and other world powers on Monday to intervene in Syria after 108 people were killed in the town of Houla in an attack it blamed on Syrian President Bashar Assad’s forces.

Ghozlan also called on Syrians to put aside their differences and unite to ‘bring down the regime, make the revolution succeed and free the heroic Syrian people’.

He said the Syrian government’s crimes were worse than those of Genghis Khan, a warrior who founded the Mongol empire in the 13th century.
