Syrian government forces have been continuing their assault with artillery, ground forces and helicopter gunships on rebel-held areas of the second city, Aleppo.
Officials said one area, Salah al-Din, had been recaptured, but rebels said the battle there was still going on.
UN observers have reported an upsurge in violence in the city, the new head of their mission Babacar Gaye said.

Death to Bashar al-Assad and his running dogs!
Unfortunate.
One secural dictator is much to be preferred over a Congress of maniac Muslim extremists.
It would be MUCH better if mutual annihiliation occurred.
I bet the Russians have threatened Assad big time to not even think about using chemical weapons. If he does that, it is open season on his rear end from every corner of the planet.
This is going to turn out badly no matter what...either a dictator wins or the Islamist rebels have another state near Israel with Chemical weapons......
Yeah, well, we can always believe what he hear out of this part of the world, can’t we?
The world may yet find out what happened to Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction.
