BEIRUT, March 2 (Reuters) - At least ten people were killed when Syrian security forces fired a mortar on a protest against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the town of Rastan in Homs province on Friday, Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

Footage posted by activists on YouTube showed body parts in a truck and a body without a head. The number of victims was not clear in the video.
