4 killed in renewed shelling of Syrian city

A handout picture released by the anti-regime Local Coordination Committees in Syria (LCC Syria) on Wednesday shows fire on the roof of a building in the Baba Amr neighborhoud of the flashpoint city of Homs, allegedly during the bombardment of the city. Syrian forces launched a massive bombardment of rebel districts of Homs, defying a world outcry over the killing of two Western journalists and a citizen reporter who were among the few to bear witness of the civilian toll.
