The Mining military airport, near the border with Turkey was
siezed by rebels on Tuesday, has been seized by rebels. It is a main
military airport consolidating their hold on a key supply route north of
the city of Aleppo, opposition activists said. The defaced picture of
Bassel al-Assad, brother of Syria's President Bashar, is seen at the
gate of the airport. [REUTERS/Hamid Khatib]
