WASHINGTON, May 27 (Reuters) – The White House said on

Sunday it was horrified by the credible reports of brutal

attacks on women and children in Houla, Syria, calling the acts

further evidence of an inhuman and illegitimate Syrian

government.

“These acts serve as a vile testament to an illegitimate

regime that responds to peaceful political protest with

unspeakable and inhuman brutality,” a White House spokesman

said.
