Syrian state TV is blaming "terrorists" for today's explosions at security compounds in the city of Aleppo. State media say 28 people died and 175 others were hurt.
The major Syrian city has largely supported President Bashar Assad during the nearly 11-month-old uprising against his rule.
State TV says today's explosions are proof that the government is facing a violent enemy. But anti-Assad activists accuse the regime of setting off today's explosions to discredit the opposition and to avert protests that had been planned in the northern city today.
A spokesman for a rebel group says the regime is also trying to divert attention from its continued offensive in the battered city of Homs (hohms). The offensive continued today, as soldiers who have been bombarding the city for the past six days made their first ground move to seize one of the most restive neighborhoods
