The video, which couldn't be independently verified by Reuters comes amid a 25 day siege of rebels strongholds in Homs.

More footage shows a body on the streets. Citizens try to retrieve the body. Activists say hundreds of civilians have been killed in besieged opposition districts of Homs, including at least 20 on Tuesday. They say that more than 7,500 people have been killed in almost a year of unrest.

President Bashar-al Assad blames the violence on quote "armed terrorists" who have killed more than 2,000 soldiers.
