54 killed in Syria military factory bombing – activists February 9, 2013 - 13:39 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - An activist group said 54 people died during the bombing of a military factory in central Syria this week, Belfast Telegraph said. Rami Abdul-Rahman of the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that the bombing took place in a government-controlled area on Wednesday February 6 and that reports of it were slow to emerge. He said a mini-van packed with explosives blew up near the factory in the village of al-Buraq while employees were waiting for buses after work. Mr Abdul-Rahman also said those killed included 11 women and that all were civilians. He said the factory makes military supplies but not weapons.
