Thousands of people demonstrated on Tuesday across Syria's coastal Alawite heartland in protest against recent attacks targeting the minority community, AFP correspondents said.The protests are the biggest in the Alawite region since the fall last December of longtime Syrian ruler Bashar al-Assad, who hails from the community, following an Islamist-led offensive.Since then, the community has been the target of attacks, and hundreds of people were killed in sectarian massacres in the area in March.
