Syria: Aleppo comes under renewed assault
Foreign-backed fighters shell and suicide-bomb western areas
JIHADISTS launched a major offensive against Syria’s largest city Aleppo yesterday.
Ahrar as-Sham and the al-Qaida-linked Levant Conquest Front (LCF) used suicide bombers in their assaults on residential areas in the western half of the city, where 1.5 million people live.
A Lebanese TV reporter said that attacks took place on “all sides … from the furthest points north to furthest south.”
