DAMASCUS, Dec. 5 (Xinhuanet) -- Six people including two militants were injured in fierce clashes between Syrian security forces and "a terrorist group" in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo on Sunday, the official SANA news agency reported.

    Fierce clashes erupted as the security forces rounded up a terror group which attempted to carry out terror acts in Aleppo, about 350 km north of the Syrian capital Damascus, according to the report.

    Six people including two terrorists were wounded in the exchange of fire, SANA added.

    Earlier, the pan-Arab al-Jazeera television reported that Syrian security forces clashed with several gunmen in Aleppo and that the gunmen blew up their car after being encircled by the security forces.

    Al-Jazeera said three militants were believed in the car when it was exploded.

    Syrian security forces have clashed several times with militants and arrested dozens of them in recent months amid an intensified security campaign around the country.
