Regime barrel bomb in Aleppo kills 18
[SAUDIGAZETTE.SA] At least 18 non-combatants were killed in a single regime barrel kaboom in Syria's northern city of Aleppo on Thursday, a monitoring group said. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the bomb, dropped from a helicopter, struck an eastern sector of the divided city where people were gathering to buy and sell fuel. In the northern province of Idlib, seven non-combatants were killed in a regime air strike near a school, Rami Abdel Rahman, the head of the Britannia-based Observatory, said. The deaths came after UN envoy Staffan de Mistura dispatched a delegation to Aleppo in efforts to freeze fighting there. Posted by: Fred 2015-03-06 |
