Aleppo, burned buses evacuation
Some buses were used to evacuate people sick and wounded from the besieged Syrian villages al Foua and Kefraya, in Idlib province, were attacked and burned Sunday and charges are beset rebels.
The convoy was traveling to areas surrounded by rebel fighters. Pro-government forces are urging people to leave the majority Shi'ite villages so that evacuation of eastern Aleppo resume.
But despite the problems, Syrian state media says the people of Aleppo buses are in motion. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said that six buses were attacked and burned while state media noted that armed terrorists attacked five buses, which were burned and completely destroyed.
Opposition sources say the militants from Jabhat Fath al Sham, or Nusra Front once linked to Al Qaeda, responsible for the burning of buses, but other sources say that clashes between jihadists and Islamic rebel groups have been the cause of fires.
Rebel groups, however, have not yet made any comment. About 1,200 people are expected to leave the eastern Aleppo, once in the hands of the rebels, in exchange for an approximate number of defectors from two villages controlled by pro-government forces.
