Syrian activists: Shooting near Lebanon border (AP)

BEIRUT ? Activists have reported heavy shooting in the western Syrian town of Talkalakh, near the border with Lebanon.

The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights cited witnesses as saying shooting erupted early on Friday and that dozens have been wounded.

There also were reports of anti-government protests in Idlib province, near Turkey. The reports could not be independently confirmed.

Syria is trying to crush an 8-month-old revolt challenging President Bashar Assad's autocratic rule.

On Thursday, the U.N.'s top human rights official said Syria has entered a state of civil war with more than 4,000 people dead since mid-March and an increasing number of soldiers defecting from the army to fight Assad's regime.
