BEIRUT, Lebanon A day after a referendum on a new constitution, Syrian government troops were reported on Tuesday to be pushing toward opposition strongholds in and near the central city of Homs as news reports, yet to be officially confirmed, suggested that efforts to rescue two Western journalists trapped there had succeeded.

.

Determined to tightly control political change in Syria in the face of an insurrection, the government announced Monday that nearly 90 percent of voters in a referendum had approved a new Constitution.

.

Western leaders and opponents of the government called the ballot a farce and its result a hoax, while Russia and China, two of Syrias few remaining international friends, called it a step toward reform.

.

Syrias leaders have matched their offer of limited change with a ferocious crackdown on civilian opponents and armed rebels besieged in enclaves such as the neighborhood of Baba Amr in Homs where a government bombardment last week killed two Western journalists and injured two others.

.

Reuters reported on Tuesday that government troops had shelled an opposition stronghold in Hama Province north of Homs while, in the city itself, a tank column was moving closer to Baba Amr. Beleaguered neighborhoods of Homs have been under sustained, daily attack for almost three and a half weeks.

.

Separately, news reports on Tuesday said that Paul Conroy, a British photographer wounded in Homs last week, had been smuggled out of Syria to neighboring Lebanon.
