Syrian troops continue Homs attack
Syrian troops were heavily shelling areas of the central city of Homs today, activists said.
The Local Co-ordination Committees activist group said today’s bombardment hit a makeshift hospital, causing casualties.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at least 12 people were killed in the intense shelling.
“We did not sleep all night,” Majd Amer, an activist in Homs, said by telephone. Explosions could be heard in the background.
The shelling comes two days after another heavy bombardment.
Activists said Saturday’s shelling was the deadliest incident of the uprising, killing more than 200 people in a single day.
The regime denied any bombardment, and there was no way to independently confirm the toll.
