Some more fine work by the NATO terrorists, I guess you get what you pay for.
BEIRUT (AP) — A mortar slammed into a ninth-grade classroom in the Damascus suburbs on Tuesday, killing 29 students and a teacher, according to state media, as the civil war closed in on President Bashar Assad's seat of power.
The state-run news agency SANA blamed the attack on terrorists, the term the regime uses for rebels who are fighting to topple the government.
An Education Ministry official, however, said 13 students and one teacher had been killed. The discrepancy could not be immediately reconciled.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media.
The mortar hit the al-Batiha school in al-Wafideen camp, about 25 kilometers (15 miles) northeast of Damascus, according to SANA. The camp houses 25,000 people displaced from the Golan Heights since the 1967 war between Syria and Israel.
"It's a terrorist attack on educational institutions and on students," Hassan Mohsen, the director of Quneitra Education Department, told The Associated Press.
