Activists: 150 Killed in Aleppo Bombings 
-----------------------------------------


 
Activists in Syria say more than 150 people have died in a weekend of
attacks by government forces on the northern city of Aleppo. Syrian
government helicopters have been hitting Aleppo for weeks with highly
destructive barrel bombs –- oil drums filled with explosives and
sometimes with nails or scrap metal. The London-based Syrian Observatory
for Human Rights says most of the victims have been civilians.
