Blast hits Syrian military complex; casualties

Damasus, July 26: An explosion ripped through a military complex in northern Syria today and dozens of soldiers were taken to hospitals with injuries, witnesses said.

The blast took place early in the morning at an infantry school in the Muslemiah area north of the city of Aleppo, they said.

No information was immediately available whether the explosion was deliberate or an accident in the complex, which contains ammunition stockpiles.

''The blast was huge. One hospital I went to was filled with injured personnel,'' said one witness, who declined to be named.
