ALEPPO, SYRIA (10:00 A.M.) – The U.S. backed rebels of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) fired several indiscriminate mortar shells towards the Al-Ta’ai Grammar School in west Aleppo today, killing as many as 4 children inside their classes.

According to Syrian field reporter Kinana ‘Alloush, the Free Syrian Army specifically targeted this area around the Al-Ta’ai Grammar School due to its large population density.

‘Alloush added that 5 other children were wounded and transferred to a local field hospital for treatment in west Aleppo.

The Al-Ta’ai Grammar School is located in the densely populated Suleimaniyeh District, which is also home to one of Syria’s largest Armenian communities.
