Several kabooms have previously rocked Zahra, which is inhabited by people of the Alawite minority, to whom the ruling elite in Syria belongs. Meanwhile, ...back at the alley, Bugs Moroni was holding Slats from behind while his brother Greasy Thumb was pounding his face into paste ... the oppositional Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based Syrian monitoring group, said two people were killed and 12 others were maimed Wednesday by the government troops shelling on the rebel-held area of al-Rastan in the countryside of Homs.
