The Syrian rebel force fighting government troops in the besieged city of Homs says most of its fighters have left the Baba Amr district in a "tactical" withdrawal.

The Free Syrian Army said it was pulling out of Baba Amr to spare the lives of the 4,000 civilians who were refusing to leave their homes.

Baba Amr has been under heavy bombardment for nearly a month.

The BBC's Jim Muir says the withdrawal was by agreement between the two sides.
