Syria islamic extremists army base 121112

Rebel fighters sit at a gun position in the Sheikh Suleiman base, some 15 miles northwest of Aleppo, on December 9, 2012. Radical Islamic rebels seized large swathes of the Syrian military base as they consolidated their control over territory in the north near the Turkish border, an AFP journalist said. Sheikh Suleiman sprawls over nearly 500 acres of rocky hills.
