"Someone pretending even to distribute aid and attracting the children produced that horrific explosion", UN Syria envoy Staffan de Mistura told reporters in Geneva. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack at the Rashidin transit point west of Aleppo, one of the deadliest episodes since the start of Syria's six-year civil war. But the evacuations have resumed armed rebels were guarding civilians at the transit point on Thursday, according to AFP photographers at the scene. Cars were being kept away from the site except for a Red Crescent vehicle that was allowed to distribute aid.
