At least 100 killed after car bomb explodes near buses carrying Syrian evacuees
Source: CBS News
The Syrian opposition rescue service said at least 100 people were killed Saturday in an explosion that hit near buses carrying people evacuated from a besieged area controlled by government loyalists.
The explosion was caused by a car bomb in the area controlled by opposition fighters outside the city of Aleppo.
In footage aired on Syrian TV, bodies, including fighters, were seen lying alongside buses, some of which were charred and others gutted from the blast. Personal belongings could be seen dangling out of the windows. The state TV channel said the car was carrying food aid but a rebel spokesman said the car had been parked in the area and abandoned.

We spend $16,000,000 on a damn MOAB and ISIS or the Taliban, or whoever, takes out even more people with a twelve dollar explosives pack?
Shit.
