Rebels
fighting against the Syrian government forces in the north-western city of
Aleppo have burned the bodies of their comrades to hide their nationalities,
Press TV reports.
The
report comes as clashes between army forces and armed gangs rage on in several
regions in Syria.
Signs
of torture can be seen on bodies found in areas held by the armed rebels,
Syrian sources say.
The
Syrian army on Saturday launched a military operation to clear Aleppo, the
country's biggest city, from the foreign-backed rebels.
Press
TV’s correspondent in Syria said the army is inflicting heavy losses on the
rebels in Aleppo.
The
Red Crescent has suspended some of its operations in Aleppo because of heavy
fighting.
Syrian
government said its troops have freed two Italian nationals who had been
kidnapped by armed groups in a suburb of Damascus.
There
have also been reports of clashes in the northern province of Idlib while calm
has returned to the capital Damascus after government forces flushed out the
rebels there.
Government
forces also defused several bombs planted near a mosque in the Hajar al-Aswad
district of the capital.
Syria
has been experiencing unrest since March 2011, with demonstrations being held
both against and in support of President Bashar al-Assad's government.
The
Syrian government says outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorists are the driving
factor behind the unrest and deadly violence while the opposition accuses the
security forces of being behind the killings.
Damascus
also says the chaos is being orchestrated from outside the country.
