Insurgents attack Aleppo university campus killing 10

INSURGENTS and their al-Qaida allies shelled Syria’s Aleppo yesterday, killing at least 10 people.

The Army of Conquest alliance took revenge for the serious defeat it suffered on Tuesday when its mercenaries were forced to retreat the city’s south-western edge to avoid being surrounded by Syrian army troops advancing to the west.

Yesterday the army and its internationalist volunteer allies consolidated their gains by taking Hikmah hill to the west and pushing into the Rashiddeen 5 suburb.
