Syria Unrest: Aleppo Bomb Attacks ‘Kill 28’

Two bombs targeting security compounds in Aleppo, Syria’s second city, have killed 28 people and wounded another 235. Nevertheless, the nation is once again grieving considering the fact that one of the bombs went off near a park where several children were killed and “martyred”. According to state television programs the death toll includes both members of the security forces and civilians. “Armed terrorist gangs” are being blamed for the attacks; however, the rebel Free Syrian Army, who was operating in the region during that time, is claiming that it is not responsible for the bombing. Col Makil al-Kurdi, the FSA’s deputy leader, believes that it was the work of the regime attempting to suppress the operation of the FSA. The article also goes on to discuss previous attack in Aleppo due to terrorist bombing attacks.
