Anne Barnard and her love affair with car bombs by Syrian rebels

First she reports on the car bomb by rebels:  "The explosion in the Old City of Homs occurred when a car bomb that rebels were preparing detonated prematurely. It killed 30 to 40 fighters".  She then tells readers that the car bomb is a great military accomplishment:  "The episode, reported differently by state news media and an antigovernment monitoring group, was significant for several reasons. It showed that some fighters in the Old City are still planning large attacks despite the government’s continuing siege, and despite its offer of a truce and amnesty that scores of their comrades have accepted."    She then describes barrel bombs by the regime:  "large, indiscriminate weapons that have killed hundreds ", but one wonders: doesn't that apt description apply to the car bombs that she is so fond of?
