Surviving Syria's Incendiary Bomb Attack
(Daily Beast) Paul Adrian Raymond - Syria's government has dropped incendiary weapons on civilians on more than 50 occasions, according to NGOs. In August, a government jet dropped an incendiary bomb on a school in Urm Al Kubra, a village in the Aleppo countryside. The canister was packed with a highly flammable material that spewed across the playground and ignited on impact, setting fire to people's clothes, hair and skin. A British security expert later identified the bomb casing as likely belonging to a Russian-made ZAB incendiary weapon.
