On Thursday morning a Syrian rebel blew himself up at the gates of a Syrian prison freeing hundreds on inmates. The attack was big for the rebels because they now have enough forces to try and capture some key government positions around the city of Aleppo. While all of this is going on the Government is dropping "barrel bombs" (Explosives, scrap metal, and fuel) on the rebels. These bombs have not only killed rebels, but also 250 citizens of Aleppo, including 73 children. The rebels have now threatened to suspend peace talks that are supposed to take place sometime next week due to the bombings.
