Taldou

Taldou (also spelled Tall Daww, Taldo or Taldao, Arabic: تلدو ) is a town in the Houla region of northern Syria, north of Homs in the Homs Governorate. Nearby towns include Kafr Laha to the north and Kabu to the southwest. In 2004 it had a population of 15,727 according to the Syrian Central Bureau of Statistics. Taldou was the scene of the Houla massacre in which 108 civilians, including 49 children and 32 women, were killed, allegedly by Syrian Army shelling and ground attacks by pro-government Shabiha militiamen, while Syrian government had accused extremist Islamic groups for perpetrating the massacre.
