Huge Explosion in Homs kills 40

 Forty people were killed and at least 120 people were wounded in an explosion at a weapons cache in the central Syrian city of Homs on Thursday, local Activists reported.

The explosion occurred in the south-eastern district of Wadi al-Dhahab, which the army has taken over, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. The group has a network of sources in the opposition and state security forces, according to Reuters.

Revolutionary pages via social media circulated the Video with mass comments; some of it has described the explosion as new Hiroshima.

It's mixed feelings of Happiness or sadness, an activist said. Is it God revenge from who keep killing us and from people who back and support Bashar al-Assad. 

The Observatory said the casualties were soldiers and civilians and that some of the wounded were in a critical condition.
