Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has said he is "sure of victory" over rebels fighting to topple him, in a message to the army.

"If we in Syria were not sure of victory, we would not have had the will to resist nor been able to persevere in the face of more than two years of aggression," he said in his message.

It comes after troops recaptured a key district of the city of Homs on Monday.

A month ago, troops launched an offensive to oust rebels from the city.

The army has also been on the offensive in the eastern suburbs of the capital and west of the main northern city of Aleppo.

"I have great faith in you and confidence in your ability to... fulfil the national mission that has been assigned to you," Mr Assad told Syrian troops in the message, which was carried by state media.

"You have shown rare courage in the battle against terrorism and you have impressed the whole world with your resistance... in one of the most brutal and ferocious wars of modern history," he said.

Homs has been a focus of unrest in the two-year uprising against President Assad, in which the UN says more than 100,000 people have died.

On Wednesday, Syria agreed to allow UN investigators to visit three sites where chemical weapons have allegedly been used, the UN said.
