Five killed in Syria unrest

[Iran Press TV] Clashes between Syrian security forces and so-called pro-reform protesters in the west of the country have reportedly claimed at least five lives, leaving many others injured.

Clashes sparked in the city of Homs -- where foreign-backed gangs have been reported inflicting casualties on the security forces, AFP reported.

Since mid-March, Syria has been struggling with tension that has left scores of people dead, including several soldiers and members of the security forces.

Syrian authorities blame gangs and foreign elements for the violence, saying security forces have been given clear instructions not to hurt civilians.

The opposition, however, accuses the forces of being behind the deaths.
