Syrian Army 'Makes Key Gains In Homs' -- BBC
Syrian government forces have taken most of the Khalidiya neighbourhood in the central city of Homs, one of the few remaining districts there under rebel control, activists and media say.
The army had launched an offensive in the area on Saturday.
Rebels had held Khalidiya for more than a year in a city seen as a symbol for the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad.
