    Free Syrian Army fighters walking through dust after a tank shell exploded outside a Syrian Army base during heavy fighting in the Arabeen neighbourhood of Damascus

    Wed, 22 Jan 2014 15:47 PM

    File photo of Free Syrian Army fighters walking through dust after a tank shell exploded outside a Syrian Army base during heavy fighting in the Arabeen neighbourhood of Damascus February 3, 2013. Thousands of young men have left European countries to join Islamist rebels fighting in Syria. Not only are the numbers growing as the conflict drags on and President Bashar al-Assad's forces appear to be getting stronger, but those leaving are getting ever younger. Some are as young as 15 or 16. Experts at the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation (ICSR) estimate the number of foreign fighters to have joined Islamist rebel groups fighting Assad's forces to be around 8,500, including almost 2,000 from Western Europe.

    A passenger disembarks from a plane at Aleppo international airport

    Wed, 22 Jan 2014 15:10 PM

    A passenger disembarks from a plane at Aleppo international airport January 22, 2014. Syria hailed the reopening of Aleppo international airport on Wednesday after a year's closure as a military victory over rebels, on the opening day of peace talks in Switzerland aimed at ending the civil war there. Syrian state television reported that a passenger flight carrying a media delegation from Damascus, 300 km (200 miles) to the south, landed at 10:30 a.m. (8:30 a.m. GMT) in Aleppo, formerly Syria's commercial hub and its most populous city. A reporter for the government outlet said the flight was made possible by the army's control of the entire area around the airport, which he said had been achieved over the past week.
