90 killed in punishing air raids in Syria's Aleppo

Aleppo was stuck by yet another air raid conducted by the Syrian government. A total of 90 people were killed in the raid, amongst them, women, children, and opposition members. The bombs that were used are known as barrel bombs. These are barrels that are packed full of explosives and shrapnel. These bombs have the ability to level a whole entire building with a single explosion. Aleppo is one of the opposition strongholds and has been targeted almost daily by the Syrian government for air raids. The Syrian government says that it is targeting the terrorist groups in Aleppo.
