Russia's foreign minister said on Sunday both sides in the Syrian conflict bear responsibility for the massacre in Houla.

Syrian activist @HamaEcho reports that the Syrian Revolution General Commission, an opposition coalition, has called for the UN to end Kofi Annan's peace plan.

The BBC's Leana Hosea writes of the video showing the massacre in Houla:

On a bedroom floor dozens of little children lie dead, their arms and legs strewn over one another. Many of their eyes are still open, bearing a look of shock and fright. They are all covered with blood and obviously suffered terrible deaths.

Official news agency SANA reports that the UN mission chief Major General Robert Mood called the Houla massacre a "brutal tragedy."
