Syrian armed forces have made advances around the Old City of Homs, where some 1,200 rebels are dug in and under regime siege.
The push by President Bashar al-Assad's troops came as a bomb exploded outside a mosque after the weekly Muslim prayers in a government-held district of the city on Friday, killing 14 people, according to state TV.
Syrian television said the bombing occurred as worshippers were leaving the Bilal al-Habshi mosque on the edge of Akrama neighbourhood.
