ALEPPO — The clock is winding down on unrestricted gun sales in opposition-controlled areas of Aleppo province in Syria.
The opposition's Free Syrian Army (FSA) and its affiliated Syrian National Army (SNA) have set a deadline for gun dealers and unlicensed stores selling ammunition and firearms to halt their activities in rural Aleppo. The groups warned that those failing to abide by the decision will face harsh sanctions.
