Monitor group: Fifty killed in Syria bombing

BEIRUT - More than 50 workers at a military factory in central Syria were killed in a bombing earlier this week, an opposition watchdog which monitors violence in Syria said on Friday.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 54 people died in Wednesday's explosion which struck their bus as they were preparing to return home at the end of their shift, and the number could rise further.
The Observatory said 11 of the victims from the bombing in Buraq, about 10 km south of the city of Hama, were women. The workers were from cities of Homs, Hama and the town of Salamiyah.
