DAMASCUS, March 24 (Reuters) - Syrian security forces pulled out from the main Omari mosque on Thursday in the centre of the city of Deraa where six people were killed, a Reuters witness said.

Several thousand people later converged on mosque to celebrate its "liberation", setting off fireworks and honking car horns.
