Opposition activists in Syria said forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad had renewed their heavy bombardment of major cities yesterday, further undermining a truce meant to mark the Muslim Eid al-Adha religious holiday.
The attack came on the second day of the truce called by peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi, who had hoped to use it to build momentum to end the conflict which has killed an estimated 32,000 people.
