highly doubt that syria will ever again
be a whole undivided country...Too
many people hate the Alewites and
Assad. Assad probably won't hang
because major countries see him as
less evil than ISIS etc but no doubt
GOD should strike him dead for all his
atrocities against his people

More than 140 people were killed in government
and Russian air strikes across Syria within 24
hours, according to sources and monitors.
At least 80 people were killed in Aleppo city and
nearby towns by a series of Russian and regime
air strikes on Friday, sources told Al Jazeera.
About 25 areas within Aleppo province were hit
by the air strikes.
The deadly raids came after at least 61 people
were killed and more than 100 others wounded
after Syrian government air strikes hit a
marketplace in a Damascus suburb, sources said.
An officer of the Syria Civil Defence in the
Damascus' suburbs branch told Al Jazeera that
the air raids struck a busy market in Douma
on Friday, killing at least 61 and injuring more
than 100 others.
Douma, east of Damascus, has been under
intense government attack for weeks now.
Witnesses said missiles were fired into the
marketplace in a rebel-held part of Douma.

"This is the second time this market has been
targeted in Douma," the civil defence officer
said over phone from Douma.
"There are only civilians here - no army and no
opposition forces. Residents do not permit any
armed person in this area.
"This market is at the heart of Douma and
supplies everyone here. Lots of farmers come
here every morning to sell their items. The
market was intentionally targeted."

A local activist, speaking to Al Jazeera on the
condition of anonymity, said Douma was under
heavy attack since Friday morning.
"Every 10 minutes we are under attack. Rocket
attacks and air strikes. They bombed a local
market...we expect a rising death toll," he said.
"Every corner of Douma is being bombed."
The attack came as the US, Russia, Saudi Arabia,
Turkey and Iran met in Vienna with the aim of
achieving a political settlement to help end the
war in Syria.

Friday's talks in the Austrian capital included an
Iranian delegation for the first time.
Meanwhile, Syria's main political opposition group,
the Syrian National Council, issued a statement
on Friday accusing Russia of committing war
crimes in Syria, one month after Russia started
its air campaign in support of the Syrian regime.
"The Russian invaders have committed war crimes
since they launched the aggression on Syria a
month ago, bombing residential areas, hospitals,
schools and bakeries," the statement said.
"Nearly 1,716 civilians, including women and
children, were killed, while 12 hospitals in three
provinces as well as bakeries in Ter Maaleh and
Saraqib were hit by the Russian air strikes.
