Syria used Scuds against rebels: US

The Syrian regime has fired Scud missiles at rebel forces trying to oust Bashar al-Assad, a US official said Wednesday, after Arab and Western states recognised the opposition bloc as the sole representative there.
"Scuds landed within Syria," the official told AFP.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said "we're seeing missiles employed now" but she refused to divulge intelligence on what type of missile.
But the US official speaking later said he could confirm a New York Times story that the regime was unleashing Scuds.
