Syria Crisis: US Condemns Aleppo Barrel Bomb Raids -- BBC
US Secretary of State John Kerry has condemned the use of barrel bombs in the Syrian city of Aleppo by forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad.
Mr Kerry said it was the "latest barbaric act of the Syrian regime".
Aleppo has been divided since rebels captured large swathes in 2012. Much of the Old City has been levelled by fighting.
Talks between the Syrian opposition and the government took place last week in Geneva but ended without result.
A further round is planned for next week.
Meanwhile, Syria has missed an international deadline to remove chemical weapons from its territory.
The Russian government has said Syria should complete the shipment of its chemical weapons by 1 March.
The US has reiterated its concern that Damascus has given up only a fraction of its stockpile.
