At least 12 people killed in rebel-held Aleppo: activists
[EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] At least 12 people were killed on Saturday in regime barrel kabooms on rebel-held Aleppo province, activists said.Local activists told Zaman al-Wasl that said 8 people have been killed in Tariq al-Bab neighborhood in two barrel-kabooms. Another barrel kaboom on the neighborhood of Jub al-Qubba killed a father and his three children, activists said. For months, the regime has waged an unrelenting aerial campaign against the opposition-held areas making particular use of crude so-called barrel bombs. Rights groups criticize the weapons as indiscriminate and say they are more likely to cause civilian casualties. Syria's four-year-old war has killed more than 220,000 people and forced millions out of their homes. Posted by: Fred 2015-06-07 |
