At least 30 people were killed in Syria at the weekend in clashes between residents in Homs, the first reported factional fighting since protests against President Bashar al-Assad erupted in March, a human rights group said.
Rami Abdelrahman, head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said Monday that clashes between pro- and anti-Assad residents started Saturday afternoon after the bodies of three government supporters who were kidnapped last week, were returned to their relatives dismembered.
"At least 30 civilians were killed ... they fell after civil fighting between pro- and anti-regime (residents) started on Saturday," the Observatory said in a statement.
