Damascus: At least 31
people were killed Sunday in two separate bombings that marked an
intensification of violence in the unrest-torn Syria, Xinhua
reported.
The day started with an explosion in a passenger bus which was
targeted with explosive devices while heading towards Damascus
from Misyaf town. The blast killed at least four people, reported
SANA news agency.
In a separate incident, a huge blast struck in Aleppo province
late Sunday and left at least 27 people as killed. The incident
added to the agony of already-suffering local people.
The blast rocked the Malaab al-Baladi area in Aleppo, an area
grouping three hospitals and a school sheltering displaced people.
According to the state media, people were still buried under the
piles of rubble and debris, adding that firefighters and other
workers are franticly looking for survivors under the rubbles
while also digging out the dead.
Aleppo has emerged as a stage for pitch battles between the
government troops and the armed rebels, who have pledged to keep
fighting in Aleppo to subdue it under their control.
Activists said as many as 20,000 people have so far been killed
since the crisis in Syria began last year amid reports that a
total of 8,000 army and security personnel have so far been
killed.
