Syrian aircraft kill 50 in northern rebel town

Syrian government helicopters dropped barrels full of explosives on a rebel-held town near the northern city of Aleppo, killing at least 50 people in two separate attacks over the weekend. The attack followed a similar bombing on Saturday, when army helicopters targeted a rebel compound in al-Bab, but missed their target and hit a market, killing 26 people. The shelling Sunday hit near a bakery in the town of al-Bab, located east of Aleppo, killing at least 24 people. The army used barrel bombs in both attacks, which contain hundreds of pounds (kilograms) of explosives.
