Beirut, Rabi'I 4, 1434, Jan 16, 2013, SPA - Syria closed universities and suspended classes for college students across the country Wednesday as anti-regime activists reported that the death toll from two massive blasts that ravaged a campus in the city of Aleppo reached 87. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the number of those killed in Tuesday's blasts at Aleppo University could rise even further because medics have collected unidentified body parts and some of the more than 150 injured are in critical condition, according to a report of the Associated Press. Activists said forces loyal to President Bashar Assad launched two airstrikes on the area at the time of the blasts. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Higher Education in Syria, suspended classes and exams at all Syrian universities on Wednesday. --SPA 13:53 LOCAL TIME 10:53 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/1069294
