30 killed in school attack
BEIRUT: A mortar slammed into a ninth-grade classroom in the Damascus suburbs on Tuesday, killing 29 students and a teacher, according to state media, as the civil war closed in on President Bashar Assad's seat of power. The state-run news agency SANA blamed the attack on terrorists, the term the regime uses for rebels who are fighting to topple the government. An Education Ministry official, however, said 13 students and one teacher had been killed. The discrepancy could not be immediately reconciled. The mortar hit the al-Batiha school in al-Wafideen camp, about 25 kilometres northeast of Damascus, according to SANA.
