Syria rebels struggle to penetrate cities

Opposition has managed only to take control of rural areas around Damascus and Aleppo, say refugees.

The Free Syrian Army, the country’s main armed opposition group, has managed to take control of many rural areas of Damascus, the capital, and Aleppo, the country’s commercial hub and largest city. 

But the fighters are struggling to gain a foothold in the urban centres of the two main cities.
