Car bombs kill 28 in Syria’s Aleppo
Two powerful car bombs rocked Syria’s second largest city of Aleppo on Friday, killing 28 people and wounding 235, State TV reported as it aired gory footage of the carnage caused by the blasts.
The television said a “suicide bomber in a car packed with explosives” carried out one of the attacks on a police station, flattening a nearby food distribution centre. The second bombing targeted an intelligence base.
The report showed mangled bodies in pools of blood in the street outside rows of shattered buildings. Emergency workers held up body parts, including hands, feet and a torso.
State television, which said soldiers were among the casualties, blamed the attacks on “armed terrorist gangs”.
The channel aired the footage live from the site of the blasts, with bulldozers quickly deployed to clear away shattered concrete strewn across a broad avenue. Several people who were interviewed denounced Turkey and Qatar for not standing by the regime in Syria as it seeks to put down a revolt that broke out last March.
