Syrian army says rebel bombardment of Aleppo killed 84 in three days

 Syria's army said in a statement on Monday that the Nusra Front and what it called other terrorist groups had killed 84 people, mostly women and children, in Aleppo during the past three days in a bombardment that included chemical weapons and rocket fire.

The Nusra Front broke allegiance with al Qaeda and changed its name to Jabhat Fateh al-Sham in July, and is one of the main rebel groups taking part in an offensive against government-held western Aleppo that began on Friday.
