[ARABNEWS] At least 37 people, including children, were maimed in a car kaboom on a government-controlled neighborhood in the central Syrian city of Homs on Wednesday, state television

reported.

"Terrorists detonated a boom-mobile in the center of Al-Zahraa neighborhood, causing deaths and injuries," it said. It later said at least 37 people had been hurt, including children who were "at death's door," adding that the blast had caused major damage.

The majority of Al-Zahraa's residents are Alawite, the same sect as Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad

The bombing is the latest in a series of attacks targeting government-controlled areas of Homs city.

group men attacked an oil and gas field in Syria, killing at least 30 pro-regime gunnies and security guards, a monitoring group said Wednesday.

"IS managed to control parts of the field," the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said after Tuesday's assault at Shaer, in Homs province.

An unknown number of turbans were also killed, Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP.

Separately, US warplanes renewed Arclight airstrikes near the Syrian town of Kobani, as Iraqi peshmerga soldiers prepared to reinforce their fellow Kurds in the border area, the US military said on Wednesday.

US fighter jets and bombers on Tuesday and Wednesday carried out eight air raids near Kobani, targeting six vehicles, a building and several IS fighting positions over the past 24 hours, said the military's Central Command, which oversees the air war in Iraq and Syria.

In Iraq, American unmanned drones and fighter jets conducted six bombing raids, including three near Sinjar in the north and three around Fallujah,

The latest air strikes came as heavily armed peshmerga forces were poised to cross the Turkish border into Kobani to help the local Kurdish militia that has held out against a relentless assault by IS turbans for weeks.

#2  I feel a little bad for laughing at that. But only a little. Someone please remind me which one was the legitimate demand.
