Syrian government on Tuesday pledged to hunt down terrorists until security is reestablished in the province of Homs.

"Operations to hunt down terrorist groups will continue until security and order are reestablished in all neighborhoods of Homs and its environs and until we overcome all armed persons terrorizing citizens and threatening their life," the interior ministry said in a statement carried by SANA state news agency.

The agency accused terrorist groups of committing atrocities in Homs province in recent weeks, adding that clashes between government troops and militants had left six security forces dead and 11 injured.
