NICOSIA: Syrian security forces killed at least five civilians Thursday in Qusayr, in the central flashpoint province of Homs, after troops stormed the town to crush anti-regime dissent, an activist said.
"The security forces opened fire on residents who tried to flee to the Al-Basateen district (of Qusayr), killing at least five people," said the activist speaking to AFP in Nicosia from the nearby city of Homs, adding that 10 other people were wounded.
