UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has suicide car bombings in Aleppo, Syria which killed 28 people and wounded 235 others.

Ban extended his condolences to the families and friends of the victims of the bombing, which occurred on February 10.

He also called for a “comprehensive peaceful political solution” to the violence in Syria that has gripped the country since March last year.

The blasts came as government forces pressed ahead with an onslaught on the city of Homs, where opposition activists say hundreds of people have been killed in the past week.

The violence in Syria also spilled over into neighboring Lebanon where authorities sent security forces to the city of Tripoli on February 10 to stop fighting between supporters and opponents of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
