BEIRUT, Lebanon A hotel used by Syrian government troops in the northern
city of Aleppo was leveled by a huge explosion on Thursday, after Islamic
militants tunneled underneath the building and planted explosives linked
to remote detonators, activist groups and state media reported.
.
There was no immediate word on casualties. Video footage whose
authenticity could not immediately be confirmed showed huge clouds of gray
smoke blotting out the Aleppo skyline.
.
The Islamic Front, one of the biggest insurgent groups in Syria, claimed
responsibility for the blast, saying the attack was a response to the mass
killing of unarmed civilians in Aleppo. The group, a coalition of
insurgents including former Free Syrian Army fighters and members of
harder-core Islamist factions, said the attack was a prelude to a
large-scale operation meant to secure territorial gains.

The state news agency, SANA, said the attack had rocked the Old City area
of Aleppo and destroyed historical sites there. The attackers blew up
tunnels they dug under archaeological buildings, SANA said.

Aleppo, the countrys largest city, has been carved into a checkerboard of
areas held by one side or the other as the Syrian civil war has
intensified. Government forces have been bombing rebel areas from the air,
while the rebels have detonated car bombs and fired mortar rounds into
government-held districts.
.
The attack in Aleppo came a day after rebels in the city of Homs began
evacuating positions they had held since the revolt against Mr. Assad took
root in 2011. The evacuation was seen as a bitter defeat and emotional
blow for antigovernment forces there, but it was not clear whether the
bomb in Aleppo was intended as a direct response.
.
Homs is Syrias third-largest city, and was one of the first where peaceful
protests turned to armed combat; it was also among the first to experience
indiscriminate bombing by government forces, a bellwether for the nations
descent into turmoil.
