| Blasts hit military college in Homs |
| 2011-07-24 |
| Two explosions were heard overnight from inside the Syrian Army War College in the city of Homs, scene of military assaults to crush protests against President Assad’s rule. The sound of heavy gunfire was heard and ambulances were seen heading to the compound in the old Al Waer district, two residents said by telephone. “Smoke rose from inside the premises. The injured were taken to the military hospital. It looked like an operation of some sort,” said one of the residents, who declined to be named. Rights groups say Assad’s forces have killed more than 1,400 civilians since the uprising began. UN human rights advisers said on Friday the crackdown might amount to crimes against humanity. |
