Syrian forces hit mosque with crude bomb, kill 5

BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian forces dropped a crude bomb on a mosque that was being used as a school in a rebel-held neighborhood of a key northern city today, killing at least five people, including children, activists said. The bombing – one of at least seven around Aleppo today – came amid an intensified campaign by President Bashar Assad’s government to take back parts of the city that were seized by rebels in mid-2012.
