AMMAN, Feb 8 (Reuters) - Bombardment of the Syrian city of Homs by government forces killed at least 47 civilians over the past eight hours, activists in the city and opposition sources said on Wednesday.
"Electricity returned briefly and we were able to contact various neighbourhoods because activists there managed to recharge their phones. We counted 47 killed since midnight," activist Mohammad Hassan said by satellite phone. (Reporting by Khaled Yacoub Oweis, Amman newsroom; Editing by Michael Roddy)
