At least 28 students and a teacher
were killed when a shell hit a school outside the Syrian capital, Damascus,
state media and activists say.
The official Sana news agency said the Batiha school in the al-Wafidin camp,
about 20km (15 miles) north-east of the capital, was hit by rebel mortar
fire.
However, the rebels blamed government forces for the deaths.
Fighting around Damascus has recently intensified, with a BBC correspondent
saying the city is coming under siege.
