Syria monitor: 28 civilians killed in Idlib
2017-10-01
[Al Jazeera] At least 28 civilians have been killed in air attacks in the opposition stronghold of Idlib province in northwestern Syria, according to a war-monitoriing group.

Four children were among the dead in the overnight air raids on the town of Amanaz, a few miles from the Ottoman Turkish border, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said on Saturday.

An AFP news agency correspondent who toured Armanaz on Saturday said entire apartment blocks had been flattened by the bombardment.

It was not immediately clear whether the attack was carried out by Syrian government warplanes or those of its ally Russia.

According to the SOHR - which gathers its information from a network of sources inside Syria - dozens of people are still missing after the bombardment.

#1  I think right after 9/11 someone said "there are no civilians." I just can't remember if it was Bin Laden, Chomskey, Zawahiri or Springsteen who said it first...
