Saboteurs blew up a gas pipeline in the flashpoint Syrian region of Homs

Saboteurs blew up a gas pipeline in the flashpoint Syrian region of Homs on Tuesday, the official SANA news agency reported.
  
"An armed terrorist group targeted in a sabotage operation at 3:00 am (0100 GMT) on Tuesday a pipeline carrying gas between Abd Kafar and Rastan," said SANA, referring to towns in Homs, a hotbed of dissent against the regime.
  
"A leak of about 150,000 cubic meters of gas occurred from the pipeline which goes to the power plant at Mhardeh," said SANA, adding that repair work was underway. "The same pipeline was the target of a terrorist operation on December 12," SANA added, referring to an attack it also blamed on "terrorists" which the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights denied at the time.
  
The latest explosion is the fifth reported attack on energy infrastructure since the outbreak of Syria's unprecedented pro-reform protest movement in mid-March.
