Damascus: At least 11 people were killed Sunday when armed groups attacked a bus in Syria, Xinhua reported.
The bus was transporting 14 passengers, including military personnel, when it came under attack in the central province of Homs, according to the local Sham FM radio.
The attack took place at the al-Fakhoura roundabout in Homs, when the bus was starting its trip to Damascus.
Homs, with a population of 800,000 people, has witnessed severe clashes between troops loyal to President Bashar al-Assad and armed groups allegedly consisting of army defectors.
Damascus said some 2,000 army and security personnel have been killed since the unrest began in March 2011, while the UN has reported more than 5,000 deaths from the violence.
