London: 2 dead as helicopter crashes after hitting crane Universities were closed across Syria on Wednesday to mark a day of mourning called after twin blasts tore through an Aleppo campus while students were writing exams, killing at least 87 people. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights warned that the toll from Tuesday's blasts in Syria's war-ravaged northern commercial capital could rise beyond 100, making it one of the bloodiest attacks in Syria's 22-month conflict. No one has claimed responsibility for the blasts, but the government and rebels have blamed each other. Opposition activists said government jets had carried out an air strike on the campus, but a military official said ground-to-air missiles fired by rebels had fallen short. State television said "terrorists launched two rockets" at the campus. The university lies in a government-controlled area of the battleground northern city, which has been wracked by violence since last summer when regime forces launched an offensive to halt a rebel advance. The Local Coordination Committees, a network of grassroots activists, said the timing of the attack showed that the blasts were "part of a systematic plan to inflict as many casualties as possible in the university. The Observatory on Wednesday updated its earlier toll of 82 people dead. "The number of people killed in twin blasts on Tuesday has risen to 87," it said. "That number is likely to rise to 100 as body parts continue to be identified," the Britain ...

www.euronews.com Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has failed in his attempt to put his sex trial on hold until after the general election. Three Milan judges dismissed his lawyers' argument that the media magnate would not have time to attend the trial due to the vote, which is set for February 24 and 25. Berlusconi, who's 76, denies all charges in this latest court case which include paying for sex with a minor. The nightclub dancer at the centre of the scandal made a brief appearance in court. 20-year-old Morroccan Karima El Mahroug - who's stage name is "Ruby the Heartstealer" - was under 18 when the alleged affair took place. Berlusconi, pictured here with his new 27-year-old girlfriend, is leading his centre-right party into the election. He's still not confirmed whether he will run for prime minister while facing a possible 15 year prison sentence. Polls show his party is still trailing far behind the centre-left alliance, which is expected to win. Berlusconi stepped down as prime minister in 2011 amid several legal cases and as the Italian economy faced bankruptcy. He was replaced by technocrat Mario Monti.

May 1998 For the last time this century the Indian city of Haridwar in the foothills of the Himalayas was the setting for the mother of all festivals. Haridwar is one of the seven most important sites in the world for devout Hindus. Here the River Ganges enters the plains of India. For this year's Kumbh Mela bathing festival a staggering 7 million Hindus have arrived. After three months of dancing, the characterful Bath of the Saddhus, the reclusive Hindu holy men, takes Place. According to Hindu mythology, the waters of the Ganges turn into the nectar of immortal life during this auspicious time. To bathe is to gain immortality, and millions do. The atmosphere of the scene is like a rave, whistles blowing, crowds everywhere. But with their thick dreadlocks and ash-covered bodyguards (nargas), the Saddhus steal the show. This year's festivities took Place without violence - proving India's Holy men can show more restraint than its politicians. Produced by ABC Australia Distributed by Journeyman Pictures

French warplanes have bombed Islamist rebel strongholds in northern Mali, as UN-approved west African troops prepare to join the operation. Fighter jets have pounded Timbuktu and Gao in Northern Mali, the region that was captured by al-Qaida-linked Islamic extremists in April 2012. France became directly involved in the conflict after saying that the spread of the al-Qaeda-linked groups in northern Mali posed a security threat to Europe. As well as its fighter jets based in France and Chad, some 550 French troops are currently in the towns of Bamako and Mopti. France's foreign minister Laurent Fabius has insisted that without direct intervention the Islamist could have advanced as far as the capital Bamako, and that the military would only be operating in the country for "a matter of weeks". So far more than 100 militant had been killed, and since the start of the French intervention on Friday, at least 11 Malian soldiers and a French helicopter pilot have died. African nations Nigeria, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Togo and Benin are all sending in troops in a bid to win back the north. The UK is providing two C17 transport planes towards the French effort.

The village with a population of a little over 12,000 people has been bearing the brunt of cross-fire between nuclear rivals India and Pakistan. Last week a Pakistan solider was killed across the Line of Control (LOC), a military line that divides Indian-administered Kashmir from the Pakistan-administered Kashmir at this village. People living along the LoC have continually been at risk due to hostility between the armies of the two rival nations. Last year, in November, three people, including a pregnant woman, had died after a shell fired from Pakistan landed on one of the houses in the village. Tension between Pakistan and India has escalated after a fresh skimirish along the border. Both countries have summoned each other's envoy to protest against unacceptable and unprovoked' attacks.
