In Syria more than a thousand militants decided to lay down their arms. The extremists are leaving the valley of the river Barada. The success can be called strategic, because it supplies drinking water to the capital, Damascus. Civilians returning to Aleppo. Houses check the Russian engineers.

Military police cordoned off the area and are not allowed civilian. It's dangerous out there. The old city of Aleppo is a maze of narrow streets where every second door is a shop. And in the basement - dozens ndelivery shells of the gas cylinders stuffed with explosives and shrapnel. Immediately and the cocked grenade.
