Syrian soldier captured from burning tank

Amateur video out of Syria appears to show a tank in flames in the city of Homs.

The video, which could not be independently verified by Reuters appears to show an ambush of a Syrian army tank.

A soldier is captured.

The assault comes after several countries expelled their Syrian ambassadors in response to a massacre in Houla, which killed 108 people including many children.

International envoy Kofi Annan says Syria is at a quote 'tipping point'. He urged President Bashar al-Assad to halt the killing that the West blames squarely on his troops.

In more than a year of bloodshed the United Nations says government forces have killed more than 9,000 civilians. The Syrian government says thousands of its security forces have been killed by insurgents.
