‘31 killed in Syria violence’

Nicosia, Oct 10: At least 14 civilians and 17 security personnel were killed in clashes across Syria, with the flashpoint city of Homs turning into a battle zone, activists said today.
 Seven of 14 civilians killed yesterday were gunned down by security forces in the city of central Syria, the Britain- based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, adding that seven others were killed in other towns.
 Seventeen security personnel died the same day in clashes with mutinous
 troops refusing orders to shoot on anti-regime protesters, the watchdog said.
 "It was like a war scene in Homs where blasts and sound bombs were heard all over town, with heavy machineguns also being fired," said the Local Coordination Committees (LCC), which organises protests on the ground.
 "A lot of homes were destroyed. Nine people were killed and dozens wounded. Security agents and pro-regime militias prevented ambulances from evacuating the wounded," the LCC said.
 It said the regime "attacked the Homs region in yet another desperate effort to make its free residents bow and to snuff out the revolution." AFP
