Battle for Syria's Aleppo airport intensifies

February 23, 2013 23:38

The battle for Syria's second-largest airport intensified today as government troops tried to reverse recent strategic gains the rebels have made in the northeast in their quest to topple President Bashar al-Assad.

Assad's troops have been locked in a stalemate with rebels in Aleppo since July when the city, the largest in Syria, became a major battlefield in the 2-year-old conflict which the United Nations says has killed at least 70,000 people. Rebels have been trying to capture the international airport for months.
