    Syria: 8-10 civilians dead as regime strikes hit bus

    Ten civilians were killed near Aleppo Friday when regime air raids hit a bus traveling on a key road out of the embattled northern Syrian city, the civil defense said.

    The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a British-based monitoring group, also reported intense raids on the road but gave a lower toll of eight civilians killed.

    AFP reports that the Castello road, where a bus was also hit by regime bombing raids on Wednesday, is a key rebel supply route out of divided Aleppo.
