DAMASCUS – At least 85 people were killed in 24 hours of Syrian regime air raids on the city of Aleppo, a monitoring group said Sunday, after 10 days of inconclusive peace talks.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said regime helicopters hit rebel-held areas of Aleppo with barrels packed with explosives.

The so-called barrel bombs are a controversial weapon, condemned by rights groups as indiscriminate.

“At least 85 people were killed, including 65 civilians, 10 of whom were children,” on Saturday, the Observatory said.

Assad is just going to keep killing his own people

 

[Sunni Man]

Silly-Sally you do realize that it's the "innocent" Shia's you are always talking about are dropping these bombs on the Syrian civilians. ...

Silly-Sally you do realize that it's the "innocent" Shia's you are always talking about are dropping these bombs on the Syrian civilians. ...

You seem to forget, Sunni Man, that it is your "innocent" Sunnis who have done an awful lot of killings also in Syria. However, I would say that it is your Sunni brothers who are doing the suicide and homcide bombings in Pakistan against the Shia. Imagine having to leave your country for Austrailia because members of the main sect are busy killing you. Hmm, I wonder how many Amahdiyya are still in Pakistan since the Sunnis are always after them too.

 

[Sunni Man]

Hmm, I wonder how many Amahdiyya are still in Pakistan since the Sunnis are always after them too.

fyi Silly-Sally.....the Shia hate the Amahdiyya far more that the Sunni's do. ..

Why, Mr. Cuckoo, I don't think it was the Shia who blew up two of their mosques a couple of years ago, killing dozens of Amahdiyaa inside plus wounding many dozens more. I also don't think it is the Shia in London who are also going after the Ahmadiyya. I also don't think it is the Shia in Indonesia who are going after them, but your Sunni brothers who are also going after the Shia in that area.

Of course, you don't care. As long as your sect keeps on getting their number of killings, all is right with the world. The only problem is that so many innocent people get caught up in this and lose their lives.

Of course it is not your problem as you have stated. It appears you have no compassion for those innocents who have been killed or wounded.]

Well Assad's troops are getting a two for one deal. Rebels who are paid mercenaries and AQ all in Aleppo at the same time.

Bombs away!

Al-Qaeda fighters kill rival rebel leader in Aleppo


Attack likely to further exacerbate rebel infighting even as Syrian government forces continued their intense shelling of opposition-held areas in the city

Al-Qaeda fighters killed the leader of a rival Islamic brigade in a twin car bombing near Syria’s northern city of Aleppo, an attack likely to further exacerbate rebel infighting even as government forces continued their intense shelling of opposition-held areas of the city on Sunday.

“At least 85 people were killed, including 65 civilians, 10 of whom were children,” on Saturday, the Observatory said.

Attacks targeted several areas of the city, with 34 killed in the southeastern Tariq Al-Bab area alone, among them six children.

Another 22 civilians, including another six children, were killed in the Salhine, Ansari and Marjeh districts, with nine others killed in other parts of the city.

The Britain-based Observatory said 10 militants from Al-Nusra Front, Al-Qaeda’s Syrian affiliate, were also killed in a local headquarters in the city.

Ten other deaths in the attacks were recorded but the identities of the dead had not been confirmed.

Once Syria’s economic hub, Aleppo is now divided between regime and rebel-held areas, with large swathes of the city devastated by the fighting that began there in mid-2012.

In December, government aircraft launched a sustained blitz on the city that killed hundreds of people, most of them civilians.

Regime forces recently launched an offensive on rebel-held areas in the east of the city, with Defense Minister General Fahd Al-Freij visiting the province on Friday.

The latest aerial assault came the day after Syrian government and opposition delegations wrapped up peace talks in Geneva.

The 10 days of talks yielded no tangible results and the government team said it was unsure whether it would return to the negotiating table.

More than 136,000 people have been killed since the conflict began in March 2011, and the fighting has raised tensions in neighboring Lebanon.

Is the barrel bomb better than our cluster bombs or bunker busting bombs?

This is not an "Arab Spring" uprising. Assad has to rid the country of terrorists. Civilians sadly will be caught in the cross fire.

Also being reported in the Arab News.

BEIRUT: Syrian military helicopters dropped more improvised “barrel bombs” on the northern city of Aleppo on Sunday, a monitoring group said, bringing the death toll to at least 83 people in the latest episode of a campaign many consider a war crime.

Most of the victims killed since Friday have been civilians from the city’s eastern districts, including women and children, according to the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which has a broad network of sources across Syria.

The use of barrel bombs — oil drums or cylinders packed with explosives and metal fragments — has drawn international condemnation, including from Syria’s opposition delegation and their Western backers at recent peace talks in Switzerland.

The first round of negotiations wound up on Friday without making progress toward ending Syria’s three-year civil war or reducing its violence, which regularly kills more than 100 people every day.
Western powers proposed a UN Security Council resolution in December to express outrage at the use of barrel bombs, which they say indiscriminately target innocent civilians. The weapons have killed well over 700 people in Syria in the past six weeks.

But Russia, a staunch ally of President Bashar Assad, has repeatedly blocked such plans in the Security Council.

Syrian authorities say they are battling rebels controlling large portions of Aleppo, once Syria’s business hub and largest city, which is now split between government and rebel forces.
The Observatory said there was “heavy congestion” at a checkpoint in a southwestern neighborhood after the government closed it to traffic, preventing residents from fleeing the bombardment and related clashes further east.
The military also used barrel bombs in the suburbs of the capital Damascus over the weekend and carried out traditional shelling and air strikes in several other cities and villages around the country, the Observatory and other activists said.
Their reports could not be independently confirmed.
To the north of Aleppo, militants from the Al-Qaeda-linked Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) seized control of a border area with Turkey called Al-Raa’i, the Observatory said.
ISIL freed more than 400 people from a prison in the area who had been held by the rival Liwa Al-Tawhid unit, and clashes between the two groups continued nearby, according to the monitoring group.
