Assad's helicopters attack village in Lebanon

Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad's helicopters attacked the pastoral town of Arsal, Lebanon (pictured above) on Wednesday. The town's residents support the rebels against Assad. Several people were wounded.

A Syrian helicopter fired three missiles into Arsal, a Lebanese town whose Sunni residents back the revolt against President Bashar al-Assad on Wednesday, according to Lebanese officials.

They said one missile landed near Arsal's town square. Several people had been wounded.

Residents in Arsal (pictured above) had reportedly taken in scores of rebels and civilians who fled Qusair, the western Syrian town captured last week by Assad's forces with backing from Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed, Lebanon-based Shiite militia.
