ALEPPO, Syria - More than 80 people have been killed by two blasts in the
northern Syrian city of Aleppo, activists and officials say.
The explosions reportedly struck an area between the University of Aleppo's
halls of residence and the architecture faculty on the first day of exams.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights put the death toll at 83, and
Aleppo's governor said 82 people had died.
State TV said "terrorists" had launched rockets at the campus, but
activists blamed missiles fired by warplanes.
In almost two years of fighting in Syria, Aleppo has been the scene of
intense conflict between government and opposition forces.
However, neither side has been able to force the other to retreat for good,
says the BBC's James Reynolds in neighbouring Turkey.
