Syrian embassies in London and Cairo attacked

A picture shows broken gate of the entrance of Syrian embassy in Cairo on February 4, 2012 after protesters stormed the embassy overnight, ransacking the mission and setting fire to its ground floor. The attack on the embassy came as the opposition Syrian National Council called on the world to act after what it called 'horrific massacres' in the city of Homs that it said killed at least 260 civilians.
