(CBS/AP) BEIRUT – The United States accused the Syrian government of using “new horrific tactics” Monday, as U.N

(CBS/AP) BEIRUT – The United States accused the Syrian government of using “new horrific tactics” Monday, as U.N. observers reported Syrian helicopters were firing on rebellious areas and concerns mounted that civilians were trapped in besieged cities. Violence in Syria has spiked in recent weeks, as both sides ignore an internationally brokered cease-fire that was supposed to go into effect April 12 but never took hold. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said U.N. monitors and opposition forces have expressed concern that the regime was preparing for an assault in Latakia province, which could result in a “potential massacre” and where U.N. monitors have been impeded. Speaking to reporters in Washington, Nuland said Syrian forces should remember Bosnia in the 1990s, and how the international community can find out who is responsible for abuses. “People will be held accountable,” Nuland warned. Activists reported more than 50 people killed across Syria on Monday, with violence in Homs, Idlib and Latakia provinces. According to activists’ accounts, Syrian troops with helicopter gunships attacked Rastan, a rebel-held town in Homs province. Rastan has resisted repeated government offensives for months. The death toll and the online videos were impossible to independently verify.
