"Syria's third-largest city of Homs has paid a heavy price as one of the centers of the country's eight-month old opposition uprising.
Rights activists say Syrian security forces have killed more than 1,100 civilians in the city and its surrounding province since the uprising began, more than any other part of the country. Experts say the unrest has escalated in Homs because of the region's poverty, its role as a natural home for army defectors and its history of anti-government protest."
