Regime strikes busy Aleppo bus station, kills 28
BEIRUT/DAMASCUS: Fighting between regime forces and rebels raged throughout Idlib province Tuesday while a government helicopter dropped a barrel bomb in Aleppo that hit a busy bus depot and killed at least 28 people, activists said.
The attack on the Jisr al-Hajj neighborhood killed at least 28 people and wounded nearly 30, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. It said the count may rise because many wounded are in critical condition.
The Local Coordination Committees, another monitoring group, said some 50 people were believed killed in the attack. It provided the names of only 13, saying the bodies were hard to identify.
The Aleppo Media Center, based in the city, said over 40 people were killed. Differing casualty figures are not uncommon.
