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.”
