Syria says operation against Assad loyalists over after deadly violence

(BBC News) Syria’s defence ministry says it has completed a military operation in the country’s western coastal region, after days of violence in which hundreds of people have been killed.

Security forces had “neutralized” loyalists of former president Bashar al-Assad in several towns in Latakia and Tartous provinces and were “paving the way for life to return to normal,” a ministry spokesman said.

A monitoring group says more than 1,500 people have been killed since Thursday, including 1,068 civilians.

Gunmen loyal to the Sunni Islamist-led government have been accused of carrying out revenge killings against members of Assad’s minority Alawite sect following a deadly ambush on a security patrol.
