The civilians were killed on Tuesday by the foreign-backed terrorists who had infiltrated Baba Amro district in Homs.

The Syrian army has announced that conflicts with the terrorists still continue in the region.

Also the sound of several big explosions was heard in Ancient Homs and al-Barazil districts on Tuesday.

Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 with organized attacks by well-armed gangs against the Syrian police, border guards, statesmen, army and the civilians being reported across the country.

Thousands of people have been killed since terrorist and armed groups turned protest rallies into armed clashes.

The government blames outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups for the deaths, stressing that the unrest is being orchestrated from abroad.

The US daily, Washington Post, reported in May, 2012 that the Syrian rebels and terrorist groups battling Assad's government have received significantly more and better weapons in recent weeks, a crime paid for by the Persian Gulf Arab states and coordinated by the United States.
