NASA Satellite Image: Pipeline ablaze outside Homs, Syria

This satellite image shows a pipeline fire in Homs, Syria. 

The pipeline, which runs through the rebel-held neighbourhood of Baba Amr, had been shelled by regime troops for the previous 12 days, according to two activist groups, the Local Coordination Committees and the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. 

The state news agency, SANA, blamed "armed terrorists" for the pipeline attack.
