Double bombing kills at least 41 children at school in Syria

"At least 41 Syrian children aged under 12 have been killed in a double bombing by a lone assailant at a school in the government-controlled city of Homs, a monitor said.

They were among 48 people who died in the attacks in the Akrameh neighbourhood, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, updating an earlier toll.

"At least 41 schoolchildren were killed in the double bombing at the Akrameh al-Makhzumi school in Homs city today. Several children are still missing, and the toll may rise further still," Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman said.

The adults killed were four civilians and three members of the security forces.

One attacker carried out both bombings.

"He planted a bomb at one location at the school, and then blew himself up at another spot nearby," Abdel Rahman said." 

I find this interesting because it's now an issue for the United States because they are going and bombing their own people. Children in schools. That needs to be stopped, but it shouldn't be done through putting our US troops on ground. Suicide bombings on civilians is never the correct measure to be taken seriously in the world, especially when your trying to get land given to you.
