Syrian Forces Detain Hundreds as Aleppo's Rebel Zones Fall
(Washington Post) Louisa Loveluck - Syrian forces have rounded up hundreds of young men as the government pushes its advance into rebel-held zones in Aleppo, residents and a monitoring group said Wednesday, prompting concerns about the safety of those held. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said more than 300 people from Aleppo were thought to have been taken to a nearby air base for screening and interrogation. Abdulkafi al-Hamdo, an English teacher, described Wednesday's bombing and shelling in rebel-held areas as relentless. The bombs were landing, he said, "like rain."
