Reports: Dozens Killed by Syrian Gov't Bombing in Idlib & Eastern Ghouta
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Syria, bombing continues against the rebel-held district of Eastern
Ghouta, outside the capital Damascus, and against the rebel-held
northern province of Idlib. War monitors say airstrikes carried out by
the Syrian and Russian governments have killed nearly two dozen people
in Eastern Ghouta and another 18 civilians in Idlib, where local
journalists say a hospital and residential areas have been targeted.
Activists also say nine people were injured in a suspected chlorine gas
attack on the town of Saraqib on Sunday night-the second alleged
chemical weapons attack in the last two weeks.
