At least 18 people searching for truffles in the Syrian desert have been killed by suspected Islamic State (IS) group gunmen, a monitoring group says.

More than 50 others are missing after the attack in the eastern province of Deir al-Zour, according to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

Pro-Syrian government Al-Mayadeen TV says at least 47 people were killed.

And the Kurdish North Press news agency reports that about 40 were killed, including women and children.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
