Targeted killings come as Syrian troops regain control of villages near military base in central province

An attack on a meeting of a Syrian rebel chiefs in the north of the war-ravaged country on Tuesday killed at least 28 leaders from one group, a monitor said.

"Twenty-eight heads of the Ahrar al-Sham group were killed in an explosion that targeted a meeting tonight... in Idlib province," Syrian Observatory for Human Rights director Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP.
Ynet adds this little tidbit, before we return to the main article on page 49:
The explosion also seriously wounded its leader, Hassan Aboud, according to a group that monitors the war.

The meeting in the northwestern Syrian province of Idlib was attended by 50 leaders of Ahrar al-Sham, said Rami Abdulrahman, who runs the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Syrian state TV reported that Aboud, the group's leader, had been killed.

#4  No, probably no ticki. LED's devices and ticking clocks are the stuff of Hollywood. Probably something along the lines of a Russian version of an M81 igniter with a very, very short fuse. Could have been a cellie igniter as well. Two man operation there, the chap placing the call can also film the blast from a safe distance.

#2  Do they still 'tick', Mr. B?

From the movies I've watched, they all appear to be digital with a big bright LED countdown timer attached where everyone can see it (right next to the red, yellow and blue wire cluster).
