Syria: Homs Seige Continues as 25 Die in Aleppo Blasts 
-------------------------------------------------------



In Syria, at least 25 people have been killed in two bomb attacks on
military and security buildings in the northern city of Aleppo. The
bombings come as the Syrian government continues to bombard the city of
Homs with tanks, helicopters and artillery, reportedly killing more than
100 people on Thursday. Witnesses said roads around the suburb of Baba
Amr have been sealed and residents there are running out of food. In
video posted online, an activist living inside Homs appealed for
international help.

Danny Abduldayem: "This is Homs, Baba Amr, we can see over there another
rocket landed on civilian houses. This has been going on all day long
from 5 a.m. It is about 8 a.m. right now. This is going to keep going on
until 7 p.m. This is the life we have gotten used to — rockets,
bullets killing children dead in the street, body parts. Why isn't the
world helping us? Where is the humanity in the world? Where is the
freaking U.N.? Why isn't anyone doing anything about this? Are these
animals? Aren't these civilian houses over there? Aren't these human
beings that live in that house."
