Scene in Syria's coastal city of Latakia following outbreak of violence
Images show fighters belonging to Syria's General Security Department and street views in the coastal city of Latakia following the killing of Alawite civilians in the worst violence since the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad. Clashes between the new security forces and loyalists of the former government erupted on Thursday in the heartland of the Alawite minority to which Assad belongs and have since escalated into reported mass killings.
