AMMAN, May 14 (Reuters) - Three people were killed when the Syrian army and militia loyal to President Bashar al-Assad entered the town of Tel Kelakh in Homs province on Saturday, a rights campaigner in contact with residents said.

A woman who had fled to the Lebanese border near Tel Kelakh said she saw soldiers and Assad militia and heard the sound of machineguns in Tel Kelakh, a day after a demonstration in the town demanded Assad&${esc.hash}39;s removal.
