Report: Assad Regime Escalates Strikes Following Launch of U.S.-led Bombing 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
A new report says Syrian government airstrikes have escalated over the
past month. According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the
regime of Bashar al-Assad has launched more than 1,500 strikes since
October 20, killing nearly 400 civilians and wounding at least 1,500
others. The increase in Assad regime airstrikes comes just weeks after
the U.S.-led bombing campaign targeting the Islamic State began in
September.
