(CNN) -- Syria will execute anyone who participates in terrorist acts or distributes weapons, state television announced Tuesday, in the latest escalation against an uprising the United Nations estimates has claimed about 5,000 lives since March.
The announcement comes as two opposition groups claimed that more than 100 people were killed Monday, which would be the single deadliest known day of the protests against President Bashar al-Assad's government.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that dozens of Syrian army defectors were gunned down as they tried to flee their posts in Idlib.
"On Monday there were 60 to 70 army deserters killed while they were trying to run away from their military positions," said the London-based group's Rami Abdel Rahman.

-—Syria will execute anyone who participates in terrorist acts or distributes weapons-—
Hmmm....... Does that include president Assad or the Hamas and Hezbollah operatives that do both in Lebanon and Israel?
This is already being done. All this does is make it official.
I’ll bet that Obama and friends are taking notes on this...
moozlums grinding other moozlums into a bloody pulp. Better that than them killing others.
Syria’s PATRIOT Act.
