BEIRUT, (APP/AFP): Two medics were among at least
20 people killed on Saturday in Syrian government shelling of a
rebel-held town northeast of the capital, the Syrian Observatory
for Human Rights said.
The bombardment struck the town of Jayrud, 60 kilometres
(35 miles) from Damascus, where the army says militants rebels
killed a pilot they captured after he was forced to eject on Friday.
