Syrian Government Blamed for Ballistic Missile Attack in Aleppo
(New York Times) Ben Hubbard and Hwaida Saad - A missile attack by government forces on the Bab al-Neirab neighborhood in Aleppo, home to the headquarters of a number of rebel brigades, killed at least 29 people, including 19 children, Syrian monitors said Saturday. Assad's forces have stepped up the use of such missiles, which often reduce city blocks to rubble, a strategy that analysts say suggests that the military lacks sufficient infantry to accomplish its goals.
