The embattled regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Wednesday pressed on with a deadly crackdown on dissent even as a flood of fresh sanctions further isolated Damascus.
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem attends a meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) in the Saudi coastal city of Jeddah.
Activists said 14 civilians were killed by Syrian forces in the flashpoint provinces of Idlib and Homs, while in the southern Daraa province, cradle of eight months of anti-regime unrest, a blast killed seven security forces.
The latest violence came as the world's largest Islamic body, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, urged member Syria to cooperate with the Arab League and allow a team of observers to visit the country.
The League imposed sanctions on the Damascus regime Sunday after it defied an ultimatum to accept observers under a plan to halt the crackdown which the UN says has killed more than 3,500 people since mid-March.
After emergency talks on Syria, a statement by the OIC urged Damascus to "immediately stop using excessive force against civilians" and to "respond to the decisions of the Arab League."
Speaking after the meeting OIC chief Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu said the group "urged Syria to stop violating human rights and to allow Islamic and international human organisations access to Syria."
Turkey, following the lead of Arab states, also announced Wednesday a raft of sanctions against Syria winning praise from Washington which said the action will further isolate Assad's embattled regime.
"The leadership shown by Turkey in response to the brutality and violation of the fundamental rights of the Syrian people will isolate the Assad regime," said National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor.
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmed Davutoglu announced the sanctions including an immediate ban on all transactions with the Damascus government and central bank and freezing all Syrian state assets in Turkey.
Similar measures would also be taken against "some well-known businessmen who are strong advocates of the Syrian regime," he said, adding that sanctions will also include a ban on Syrian officials visiting Turkey.
The Arab League, which suspended Syria's membership in November,razor barbed wire mesh, approved unprecedented sanctions against Syria including a freeze on government assets, suspending cooperation with Syria's central bank and halting funding for projects in the country.
On Wednesday a League committee met at the pan-Arab bloc's Cairo headquarters to decide on a list of Syrian officials who will be banned from Arab countries and whose bank accounts will be frozen.
They were also due to decide on when to implement a decision to end all flights to and from Syria and a list of necessary foodstuffs that will be excluded from the ban on trade with Syria's government.
Syria is also facing US and EU sanctions and the European Union is set to beef up punitive oil and financial measures against Damascus on Thursday, a move diplomats said was aimed at choking Syrian sources of funding.
They will include bans on exporting gas and oil industry equipment to Syria,电焊石笼网, trading Syrian government bonds and selling software that could be used to monitor Internet and telephone communications.
The US has slapped Syria with a package of sanctions, including a freeze on government assets, a ban on citizens from doing business with the country as well as a ban on the sale of telecommunications equipment to Syria.
The slew of sanctions appear to have had little impact on the regime in Syria,楼梯钢格板, where the death toll rose again on Wednesday.
Security forces killed nine civilians in the northwestern Idlib province, including a 12-year-old boy and a woman, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
Five other civilians were killed by gunfire in separate incidents in the central city of Homs.
And seven members of the security forces were killed in clashes with army deserters in the Daraa town of Dael,U-shaped line, the Britain-based group said, adding that their vehicle had been blown up.
More than 164 people were also arrested in Dael where security forces carried out search operations, the group said, adding that 19 people were wounded by gunfire.
State television meanwhile reported that authorities released 912 people who were involved in anti-regime unrest but have "no blood on their hands, the third batch freed this month.
In Jeddah the OIC expressed frustration at the unending bloodshed and raised concerns about the international response to the crisis in Syria at the start of its meeting.
"We also refuse any military intervention and affirm our respect to Syria and its sovereignty... and welcome international and Arab efforts" to reach a solution, the head of the OIC said.
Just days after UN-appointed investigators accused Syrian security forces of crimes against humanity,Playground Fence, including the torture of children,Heavy Type Hexagonal Mesh, the UN Human Rights Council said it will hold a special session on Syria.
Friday's meeting -- the third by the council on Syrian this year -- will be convened following a request by the European Union, a diplomatic source said.
Human rights group Amnesty International called on the UN Security Council to refer Syria to the International Criminal Court.
"It is high time for the UN Security council to take action," the group's Middle East campaigner Maha Abu Shama said.
Amnesty International is pressing for an arms embargo, asset freezes against Assad and his associates, as well as an investigation by the ICC.
Military Barriers/Hesco Bastions
Information
The QIAOSHI's Military Barriers or Hesco Bastions is a modern gabion used for flood control and military fortification. It is made of a collapsible wire mesh container and heavy duty fabric liner, and used as a temporary to semi-permanent dike or barrier against blast or small-arms. One of the less heralded life- and labor-saving devices of war, it is used on nearly every United States Military base in Iraq as well as on NATO bases in Afghanistan.
Originally designed for use on beaches and marshes for erosion and flood control,复合钢格板, the Hesco Bastion quickly became a popular security device in the 1990s.
Assembly
Assembling the Hesco Bastion entails unfolding it and (if available) using a front end loader to fill it with sand, dirt or gravel. The placement of the barrier is generally very similar to the placement of a sandbag barrier or earth berm except that room must generally be allowed for the equipment used to fill the barrier. The main advantage of Military Barrier, strongly contributing to their popularity with troops and flood fighters,Barbed Wire Machine, is the quick and easy setup. Previously, people had to fill sandbags, a slow undertaking, with one worker filling about 20 sandbags per hour. Workers using Military Barrier and a front end loader can do ten times the work of those using sandbags.
The Hesco Barrier come in a variety of sizes. Most of the barriers can also be stacked,Hexagonal Wire Mesh, and they are shipped collapsed in compact sets. Example dimensions of typical configurations are 46" x 36" x 32 (1.4m x 1.1m x 9.8m) to 7 x 5 x 100 (2.1m x 1.5m x 30m).
A new system of Hesco Bastion developed specially for military use is deployed from a container,钢格板, which is dragged along the line of ground where the barrier is to be formed, unfolding up to several hundred meters of barrier in minutes,钢格板吊顶, ready for filling with soil by a backhoe.
Protection
Filled with sand,Steel Grating, 60 centimetres (24 inches) of barrier thickness will stop rifle bullets and shell fragments. It takes 1.5 metres (five feet) of thickness to prevent penetration by a rocket propelled grenade round. Approximately 1.2 metres (four feet) of thickness provides protection against most car bombs.

Two leading industrial estate operators plan to build a strong, permanent dyke around their properties to curb any future flooding.
Rojana Industrial Park Plc with one estate in Ayutthaya will spend 2 billion baht to erect a 67-kilometre dyke, while Nava Nakorn Plc in Pathum Thani plans has earmarked 600 million baht for a 20-km barrier around its industrial promotion zone in Pathum Thani.
The Japan International Cooperation Agency will advise on both projects, which are aimed at restoring investor confidence.
Construction on the dykes will begin next month and be finished by mid-2012.
Funding will be via soft loans at 0.1% interest from the state-owned Government Savings Bank under the government's 15-billion-baht aid programme for flood-affected industrial estate operators.
Energy Minister Pichai Naripthaphan said the government must ensure the industrial sector's rapid recovery, as the devastating floods have rendered massive numbers of workers jobless.
The two estates employed nearly 500,Chain link wire,000 people pre-crisis.

Nava Nakorn should be dry sometime next week, and all 227 Nava Nakorn factories will also restart in January.
Witaya Launglueyos, the senior general manager of Rojana Industrial Park Plc, said many factories have started cleaning up,钢格板安装夹, with three of them including Minebea and Nidec conducting test runs.
Gen Chainarong Noonpakdee, Nava Nakorn Plc's board chairman said his company will ask the government for a tax holiday since the cost of the dyke is relatively high.Clients will also be subject to a surcharge in their monthly utility bills to help finance the structure, he said.
Prior to the start of draining,field fences, microorganisms were introduced to help clean up the water, Gen Chainarong added.

Hemaraj pushes back Rama III condo-hesco
Hemaraj pushes back Rama III condo,不锈钢冷拉丝
But industrial state expansion okayed

SET-listed Hemaraj Land and Development (HEMRAJ) has postponed its 600-million-baht condominium project by the Chao Phraya River due partly to flood concerns but will proceed with the expansion of two industrial estates on confidence in the investment outlook over the next five years.
The 20-unit condominium project on a four-rai plot on Rama III Road was scheduled for a launch early next year before being shelved, said Paopitaya Smutrakalin, director for planning and investor relations at the country's top industrial estate operator.
The expansion of 2,000 rai at Hemaraj Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate will carry on as planned together with a 750-rai new phase at Hemaraj Rayong Industrial Land. The two expansions will be completed next year.
"Foreign investors remain confident in Thailand's long-term prospects,Operations could resume within 45 days in flooded industrial estates-barbed iron wire, existing supplier base,フェンス, and government supports," said Mr Paopitaya at a briefing at the Stock Exchange of Thailand yesterday.
"However, it is vital the government reassure investors that such severe flooding will not happen again next year and beyond."
More manufacturers are expected to relocate from Japan and Australia to Southeast Asia because of exchange rates, he added.
Hemaraj will also continue with a plan to jointly invest in six more co-generation Small Power Producer projects with a capacity of 120 megawatts each. It will own 25% and spend 400 million baht on each of these plants that will be operational between 2013 and 2015.
In the first nine months of the year, Hemaraj sold 1,212 rai of industrial land and remains on track to achieve record land sales of 1,perforated metal mesh,700 rai this year. Revenue is expected to grow 20-25% over 2010 to 4.45 billion baht this year.
"Utility sales were flat the last two months because some customers have suppliers located in flood-affected areas," he said. "But we view this as a short-term impact and utility sales should be back to normal in the first quarter of next year."
Hemaraj targets utility revenue to double from 2009 to 1.45 billion baht in 2012, climbing to 2 billion by 2015. Its Gheco-One Independent Power Producer project, in which Hemaraj owns 35%, is expected to be operational by the first quarter of next year. It is estimated to generate a profit of 1.4 billion baht per annum from mid-2012 to 2018.
HEMRAJ shares closed yesterday on the SET at 2.22 baht, up 2 satang, in trade worth 56.4 million baht.

metal wire mesh-HESCO
"The ability to quickly empty the barriers and pack them up is a great breakthrough in
force protection," said Jonathan Bird, HESCO Sales Director. "In addition to reducing the time and costs of leaving the conflict zone, the new design denies adversaries use of leftover barriers after the end of the mission."
"We developed the 2012 HESCO Mil units with two of the military's important goals in mind to be more environmentally responsible,razor barbed wire, and to be more cost-effective during the demilitarization stage of the mission" said Jake McQueen, Sales Manager at HESCO. "Not only is our new product capable of being redeployed when required, its ease of transportation means a fraction of the energy and resources, including the number of personnel and trucks,Hesco Bastion-Military Barriers,Hesco Bastions,黑铁丝电焊网, are needed to remove the previously installed barriers."
