Syria activists say 3 killed in Homs
Syrian activists say three people have been killed in government airstrikes on the central city of Homs. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says Syrian army warplanes began pounding the old quarters of Homs early Sunday, killing one woman and two children.President Bashar Assads forces have been on the offensive in Homs, reclaiming some of the territory they have lost to the rebels since Syrias crisis began 27 months ago. A city of about 1 million, Homs has sided with the rebels since the early days of the uprising. Homs is Syrias third largest city and capital of its largest province, which carries the same name and stretches from the Lebanese border to the frontier with Jordan and Iraq.
