At Least 34 Dead in Syrian Car Bomb Blasts

HeadlineNov 28, 2012

In Syria, at least 34 people are dead after two car bombs exploded in a suburb of the capital Damascus early Wednesday amidst ongoing clashes between anti-government rebels and the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Amateur video uploaded Tuesday showed Syrian rebels shooting down a military helicopter over the northern city of Aleppo. The video is seen as potential proof the rebels are now using heat-seeking missiles in the fight against government forces. Meanwhile, a United Nations General Assembly committee voted Tuesday to condemn the Syrian government for widespread human rights abuses.
