Syrian security forces have renewed attacks on the city of Hama on the second day of a crackdown on anti-government protesters, activists say.

Tanks opened fire after a night of sporadic shooting, Hama-based activist Omar Hamawi told AP news agency. One report said four people had died.

Security forces killed scores of people in the city on Sunday.

Emerson's thoughts:

Activists say about 130 people died across the country on Sunday, making it one of the bloodiest days since the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad began in mid-March.

If the assault on Hama on Sunday was meant to scare protesters off the streets, it has not succeeded.
