Huge Explosion Kills 22 In Syria's Homs (w/pic)
A huge explosion at a weapons depot rocked the city of Homs sending a fireball hundreds of feet into the air and killing 22.
Video of the blast was posted on YouTube by activists opposing the Bashar al Assad regime, who said dozens had also been wounded.
The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said: "At least 22 people, including civilians, were killed and dozens wounded, some seriously, when an ammunitions depot blew up in the pro-regime Wadi al-Zahab district after rocket fire, most probably by rebels."
