Syria conflict: massive bomb blasts hit Aleppo

< > Men walk on a road amid wreckage, after three blasts ripped through Aleppo's main Saadallah al-Jabari Square, and a fourth was reported a few hundred metres away near Bab al-Jinein, on the fringes of the Old City, where rebels and forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad have been fighting

At least 48 people have been killed and nearly 100 wounded, most of them soldiers, in a spate of car bombs that blasted the heart of Syria's second city Aleppo. "Most of the dead and wounded are regime troops," said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, citing medical sources.
