Amateur video out of Syria appears to show crowds surrounding an Arab League monitor in Hama.<br/> The video, which could not be independently verified by Reuters, comes amid reports that armed Syrian rebels captured dozens of members of government security forces Monday.<br/> A man who has climbed inside one of the monitor's vehicles says a local mosque was attacked by Syrian forces in Homs.<br/> Footage purportedly from Homs shows observers out on the street. Homs as well as Hama have been at the center of the nearly 10-month old uprisings against President Bashar al-Assad.<br/> A man approaches an observer and tells him that Syrians want to get rid of the regime.<br/> More footage, reportedly from Idlib, shows citizens surrounding an observers car. An Arab League monitoring mission has spent the past week assessing Assad's compliance with a peace plan.<br/> The United Nations estimates that at least 5,000 people have been killed in Syria since the uprising began last March.<br/> The government blames the violence on foreign backed armed militant groups.<br/> Syria has banned most independent media from the country making it difficult to verify accounts from activists or the government.<br/> Deborah Lutterbeck, Reuters
