Jordan's powerful Islamist group condemns deadly crackdown by Syrian regime on opposition

AMMAN, Jordan — Jordan's powerful Muslim Brotherhood has condemned the brutal crackdown by the regime in neighboring Syria, where an army raid on a restive southern city a day earlier killed at least 11 people.

Jordan's biggest political opposition group is denouncing Syrian President Bashar Assad's "violent way" of dealing with the protesters in the city of Daraa and is urging him to respond to his people's demands for political reform.

The group says Syrian security forces should be held accountable for the bloody clampdown that killed scores in recent weeks.

The Muslim Brotherhood statement was posted on its website on Tuesday. Syria has banned its own Muslim Brotherhood group.
