Reuters - BEIRUT:
Russian air strikes in Syria on Wednesday killed at least 36 civilians and
targeted areas where Islamic State and al Qaeda-linked fighters are not
present, the head of the Western-backed Syrian political opposition said.
"All the
targets in today's Russian air raid over northern Homs were civilians,"
Khaled Khoja, head of the Turkey-based Syrian National Coalition, wrote on his
Twitter feed.
Khoja, who is in
New York for a U.N. General Assembly meeting, said the civilians had been
killed in five different areas.
"The
targeted areas in today's Russian air raid in Homs were those areas which
fought ISIL and defeated it a year ago," he said, using an acronym for
Islamic State.
