DAMASCUS: Syrian forces killed at least 27 civilians on Tuesday, including 16 in the shelling of neighbourhoods in Homs, monitors said, as regime forces massed around the flashpoint city raising fears of an imminent ground attack.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said three children and a woman were among 16 people who died in "intensive shelling" that targeted the Homs neighbourhood of Baba Amr.
