Death toll mounts after bomb blast on Aleppo evacuee bus convoy

A bomb blast hit a bus convoy waiting to enter Aleppo on Saturday, killing and wounding dozens of people after an evacuation deal between Syria’s warring sides halted and stranded thousands at two transit points on the city outskirts.


More than 40 people were killed in the blast.  Images posted by the outlets showed bodies lying next to charred buses with their windows blown out, and flaming vehicles belching out thick black smoke.

British-based monitor the [so-called] "Syrian Observatory for Human Rights' counted 24 dead and dozens more wounded.

The blast hit buses in the Rashidin area on Aleppo’s outskirts, which had been waiting to cross from terrorist/rebel-held territory into the government-controlled city itself, carrying people evacuated from two Shiite villages on Friday.
