Syrian army bombs Damascus
A Syrian army shelling of Damascus killed six people Wednesday and 11 others died in a rebel attack on a Alawite village in central Syria, a monitoring group said.
The army targeted the southern Damascus neighborhood of Al-Hajar Al-Aswad, killing "a woman, three children and two men", said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. In central Damascus, several people were wounded when mortar rounds launched by rebels landed near Baghdad Street and in the Kassaa neighborhood, said the Britain-based group. (AFP)
