Bombings in Syria  

Washington Post, 2/10/12

BEIRUT — Two explosions struck compounds housing security services in the Syrian city of Aleppo on Friday, reportedly killing 28 people and wounding 238 in the worst violence to hit the country’s relatively calm commercial capital since the uprising began last March.

The attacks coincided with the continuation of an offensive against the central city of Homs, where activists claim hundreds have been killed in the sustained bombardment of neighborhoods loyal to the opposition during the past week.

The situation in Syria has gotten increasingly grim. The U/N. has failed to come up with a solution and more people are dying every day.
