Syrian official sources said that seven bodies were found in Kazu, a suburb of Hama. During a UN Security Council meeting about the crisis in Syria, world leaders ruled out the possibility of a military intervention in the country.

Egypt: Ousted Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak will be relocated in order to appear in court on charges of corruption and ordering the killing of anti-government protestors in Egypt. Mubarak is due to appear in court along with his two sons and a number of his former associates in Cairo on Wednesday.

Bahrain: At the start of the holy month of Ramadan, the February 14th Revolution issued a statement calling on Bahrainis to escalate their mobilization and protests throughout the country. The coalition emphasized the importance of national unity among Bahrainis while it condemned the kidnapping, torture, arrests, and other crimes committed by the Saudi occupation forces.

Libya: At least seven revolutionaries were killed and 65 others wounded during clashes with government troops in Zlitan, located 160 km east of the capital Tripoli. The fighting broke out on Tuesday after revolutionary forces captured the town from forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi. Attacks by pro-Gaddafi troops have intensified as opposition fighters are pushing their way towards Tripoli where the long-time ruler is located. Taking over control of Zlitan is seen as a big gain for the revolutionaries as it is the first of three major towns that stand between Tripoli and Misurata, which is held by the revolutionaries.
