Syrian Rebels Likely Behind Aleppo Bombings

Suicide car bombings at two Syrian security facilities Feb. 10 killed at least 28 people and wounded hundreds more, the latest in a string of increasingly sophisticated attacks targeting the Syrian regime's military and police infrastructure. The Syrian government accused "terrorist" rebels of conducting the attacks while the Free Syrian Army (FSA) denied any role in the bombings and said the government itself staged the attacks to undermine the rebels. Despite its denial, the FSA or one of its offshoots most likely conducted the strikes and has denied responsibility to avoid being tainted by accusations of terrorism that could alienate potential foreign backers.
