Скачать или смотреть EAST ALEPPO: SHEIKH NAJJAR Industrial Area 11/12/2016

Driving to Sheikh Najjar industrial area in the north-east of Aleppo with Fares Shehabi. It was cold and the driving rain added to the bleakness of the devastation in an area that had been taken over by ISIS and various other terrorist factions in 2012 and liberated in 2014.

It was nicknamed Al Qaeda city, and this report by the Independent [by Fisk] gives an insight into the horror that accompanies any terrorist occupation in Syria:

"Miles of underground tunnels still lace their way beneath what had once been the Sheikh Najjar Industrial Zone, while men from al-Qaeda, Jabat el-Nusra, Jihad Islamia, the al-Sham Brigade and remnants of the old ‘Free Syria Army’ – all struggling to overthrow Assad’s regime – spent two years mining the buildings above ground, hacking lorry-wide passageways between their walls and cutting out sniper’s nests in every street and on every floor. What had been one of Syria’s newest industrial estates was transformed into a place of death; food stores and grain mills were turned into arms storage depots, their basements into dormitories for the hundreds of rebels who lived here."
