altThe Syrian government and opposition activists exchanged accusations Friday after a mortar attack killed at least 20 people in Damascus’ sprawling Yarmouk district, home to tens of thousands of Palestinians.

 
Graphic video said to be from the scene showed the bloody and smoky aftermath: charred bodies, dazed victims, battered building  -- scenes that have been repeated with a numbing regularity in strife-ravaged Syria.
 
The United Nations said 20 people were killed and 10 were injured in the attack.
