		</div><p>Syrian army units are clearing landmines and explosives in the historic town of Palmyra that were left behind by militants from the so-called &#8216;Islamic State&#8217;, a security official said.</p>
<p>The Syrian official said he expects the process to be long and difficult due to the large number of mines planted by the extremist group.</p>
<p>Syria&#8217;s military announced the previous night that its forces had fully recaptured Palmyra from the extremist group as the militants&#8217; defences crumbled and &#8216;IS&#8217; fighters fled in the face of artillery fire and intense Russia-backed air strikes.</p>
<p>The development marks the third time the town &#8211; famed for its priceless Roman ruins and archaeological treasures that &#8216;IS&#8217; had sought to destroy &#8211; has changed hands in one year.</p>
