Syria conflict: Aid convoy hit by 'air strike' near Aleppo

One unconfirmed report said 12 people were killed in the attack near the town of Urum al-Kubra.A UN spokesman said at least 18 of 31 trucks had been hit but could not confirm it was by an air strike.
UN Special Envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, said it was an "outrage".
"The convoy was the outcome of a long process of permission and preparations to assist isolated civilians," he said in a statement emailed to Reuters.
The Syrian Red Crescent said the convoy had been making a routine delivery from Aleppo to rural rebel-held areas. Images posted online showed lorries and trailers engulfed by flames.
Activist group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said 12 people - aid workers and truck drivers - had died in a strike by Syrian or Russian warplanes. The Syrian government has not commented.

Just follow what makes sense. Does it make sense for Assad to want to initiate hostilities with the U.S. even if he has the backing of Russia or China? The obvious answer is a resounding "no" so when I hear reports of Assad becoming "bold" and trying to start **** with Israel or the U.S. I can't help but laugh. Assad is already dealing with ISIS in the East, and American trained and armed Islamic terrorists in the south so he's already got a two front war to deal with. Now you're implying that Assad wants Israel and the US to get directly involved. You're so used to the establishment fed to you by the U.S. propogandists that you think everyone wants to get into wars on multiple fronts but in reality it's only the U.S. Every other leader on Earth, every other nation on Earth, has a more rational foreign policy than ours.
