'The war on Christianity' - 'Islamist' Turkey sponsored rebels shell Aleppo Orthodox Christians. (AP).
Opposition fighters shelled a government-held neighborhood in the northern city of Aleppo early Saturday, killing at least three people and wounding dozens, Syrian state television and an activist group reported.
In Aleppo, the shelling on the predominantly Christian and Armenian neighborhood of Suleimaniyeh on Saturday morning killed six, wounded more than 50 and damaged several building, state TV reported.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which has a network of activists around the country, said the shelling killed three and wounded "tens."
Syrian rebels have shelled residential areas in government-held parts of the contested city in the past, killing hundreds of people in the attacks.
Aleppo, Syria's largest city and its former commercial capital, became a key front in the country's civil war after rebels launched an offensive there in July 2012. Hmmmm.........Expect the Turks to cheer the advance of the 'rebels'. Read the full story here.
no coincidence "moderate" rebels chose to start shelling Christian areas in Aleppo on eastern Orthodox Good Friday, a clear message #Syria
