Activists: 98 dead in assault on rebel-held Damascus suburb
Intense Syrian government shelling and airstrikes on rebel-held Damascus suburbs killed at least 98 people in what was the deadliest day in the area in three years, a monitoring group and paramedics said Tuesday.
A day after Monday's government barrage, retaliatory shells rained down on the capital Damascus, killing at least eight people on Tuesday. In the suburbs, opposition activists said that at least 15 more people were killed Tuesday.
