Video: Churches and homes left destroyed after Homs shelling There are gaping holes in the walls of churches and homes in the Christian district of the Syrian city. The cameraman narrates the scene in English, blaming the Syrian army for the destruction. He points to puddles of dried blood in the rubble and focuses on abandoned shops and businesses, some of which appear to have been looted. It is not possible to independently verify the content of the video, but Homs residents have accused the army of indiscriminate shelling. Syria's third largest city has been a focal point for a year-long revolt against the regime of President Bashar al-Assad. UN human rights chief Navi Pillay told the BBC that enough evidence had been gathered to bring human rights charges against Assad over the crackdown on opposition protesters. Assad's role as commander of the security forces made him responsible for their actions during the unrest, she argued. "President Assad could simply issue an order to stop the killings and the killings would stop," she said.
