The government blamed “terrorists” for the attack.

Throughout the civil war in Syria, as the government has launched a brutal crackdown against the opposition, President Bashar al-Assad’s administration has continuously blamed “terrorists” for violence.

    No-one targets an empty soccer field …. it’s a problem of using weapons that can’t be aimed accurately.
    But when you’re only aiming in a general direction and don’t care who they land on, as most ‘war-weapons’ are designed, this shouldn’t be big news … just another stupidity to mark on the score-sheet.
