Syrian forces renew assault on Homs, kill 3

Reuters reported Wednesday that Syrian forces backed by tanks killed at least three civilians in a large-scale assault on Homs, activists said, in a renewal of raids on Sunni districts in the city where thousands have held pro-democracy protests."

Most land and cellphone lines and the Internet have been cut off. Tanks moved in at dawn and began firing heavy machine-guns randomly at houses in Bab Tadmur, Warsha district and Bab Dreib," said a statement by Homs City Neighborhoods Union sent to Reuters.

"Troops also deployed in Bab Sbaa, two explosions were heard in al-Khader neighborhood and they sealed off the city center."

Tanks and troops, largely from Syria's minority Alawite sect, moved into Homs four months ago and occupied the main square in the city to try to end protests demanding the removal of President Bashar al-Assad.
