Syria rebels seize al-Qaida base in Aleppo

BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian rebels seized control today of a hospital used as a headquarters by an al-Qaida affiliate in the northern city of Aleppo, part of a widening campaign against the extremist group in the country’s opposition-held north, activists said. The capture of the hospital underscores the intensity of the rebel infighting that has raged for days between a consortium of Syrian rebel groups and their one-time allies, fighters from the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant.
