Syria: Al-Nusra Front rebels seize key army base in Aleppo
Syrian rebels, led by the radical Al-Nusra Front, seized a strategic army base in the northern Syrian province of Aleppo on Monday after weeks of fierce fighting, a watchdog said.
“Al-Nusra Front, alongside several Islamist rebel battalions linked to it, have seized control of the army base headquarters at Sheikh Suleiman,” Syrian Observatory for Human Rights director Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP.
