| [CTVNEWS.CA] Activists say rebels in Syria have captured 32 soldiers and pro-government gunnies near the northern city of Aleppo, where fighting is raging as the two sides try to expand territory under their control. The Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and Aleppo-based activist Ahmad Hamed say the troops were seized in the village of Ratyan after it was retaken by the rebels on Wednesday. The Observatory says rebels also recaptured the village of Hardatnein Thursday, two days after it was taken by government forces. The Observatory and Hamed say intense festivities are taking outside a third village, Bashkoy, which was also taken by the government two days ago. |
