Clinton calls for countries to join US Syria sanctions

The American Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, has called on other countries to join US sanctions against Syria, in response to the authority's continued crackdown on anti-government protesters.

America has already announced sanctions on Syria's largest commercial bank and biggest mobile phone operator, in a bid to hit President Assad's financial resources.

Opposition activists in Syria say the security forces killed at least 12 civilians on Thursday.
