Syrian Coalition Condemns the Regime’s Air Raid on a Bakery in Al Bab

Khalid Saleh, head of the Media Office, condemns the barrel bomb attack carried out by Assad’s air force on a bakery in the town of Al Bab northeast of Aleppo. 22 people, including women and children, were killed while the death toll is expected to rise as many are still trapped under the rubble. “The Assad regime’s deliberate targeting of civilians in many towns and cities across Syria and the deliberate spreading of panic and fear among them are aimed to cover up the despair experienced by the Assad regime and the militias fighting on its side,” Saleh said. “In light of Assad’s relentless attack on civilians, we demand immediate implementation of the US plan to arm the Free Syrian Army, especially after the plan was approved by the US Congress. We also call for expanding the plan to include proving the FSA with advanced weapons to enable it to protect unarmed civilians, counter Assad’s air force, and fight terrorism represented by the Assad regime and ISIS.” (Source: Syrian Coalition)
