Commander in FSA: we expelled Assad troops and Hezbollah from North Aleppo

Free Syrian Army had expelled Assad's troops and Hezbollah militants from North Aleppo after fierce clashes inflicted heavy losses to the Assad regime, Commander of the Military Council in Aleppo told Zaman Alwasl.

Colonel Abdul-Jabbar al-Aqidi denied arming claims and emphasized on the daily progress of FSA in north Aleppo. ''Media neglected that; it didn't show the real truth, they focus only about the extremist groups now in try to defame FSA.'' Aqidi said

 According to the attempts of the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) to establish local administration in the north, Col. Aqidi said he appreciated the Kurdish people so much, stressing the Arab-Kurdish brotherhood, at the same time pointing out that this approach does not serve the revolution and the Syrian community.

More than 93,000 people have been killed since the Syria crisis started in March 2011, according to the United Nations, as largely peaceful protests against Assad's rule. It escalated into a civil war after opposition supporters took up arms to fight a brutal government crackdown on dissent.
