DAMASCUS, Dec 26 (Reuters) – Three people were killed and five injured when an explosion struck a mosque in an Alawite neighbourhood in the Syrian province of Homs on Friday, a local official said.
Syrian state media said security forces had imposed a cordon around the area and were investigating.
Local officials told Reuters it may have been caused by a suicide bomber or explosives placed there.
