人權活動人士說敘利亞霍姆斯襲擊至少17人死

Syrian rights activists say at least 17 people have been killed and many more wounded in a new bombardment by Syrian forces on the flashpoint city of Homs. Arabic satellite television stations broadcast images from Homs Monday that showed smoke billowing into the sky from buildings damaged in the violence. The attacks occurred in several parts of Homs, where an oil pipeline also exploded. Syrian state television says "terrorist gangs" were behind the bombings. There was no independent confirmation of the casualties as Syria restricts independent reporting in the country. The violence comes several days after activists reported what they called a massacre in Homs, saying at least 200 people died in a government bombardment late Friday into Saturday, in what appeared to be one of the deadliest incidents of the 11-month revolt. Homs has become a focal point of opposition resistance to the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.敘利亞人權活動人士說，敘利亞政府軍在衝突焦點城市霍姆斯展開新一輪炮擊，至少造成17人死亡，多人受傷。阿拉伯衛星電視臺星期一從霍姆斯播放的畫面顯示，被襲擊摧毀的建築向天空冒出滾滾濃煙。這座城市的很多地區都受到攻擊，一條輸油管道也爆炸了。敘利亞國營電視臺報道說，這些爆炸是“恐怖團伙”乾的。由於敘利亞限制記者在其境內進行獨立新聞報道，沒有獨立消息來源證實死傷人數。襲擊發生幾天前，活動人士報告說，霍姆斯發生屠殺。他們說，政府軍從星期五晚間到星期六的炮擊至少造成200人死亡。這可能是敘利亞11個月的動亂以來死亡人數最多的一起事件。霍姆斯已經成爲反對派抵抗敘利亞總統阿薩德當局的焦點地區。
