Al-Qaeda Group Seizes Parts of Syrian Province Idlib 
-----------------------------------------------------


 
The al-Qaeda group al-Nusra has seized several areas in the Syrian
province of Idlib. Al-Nusra reportedly seized the weapons of rival
Syrian rebels during its advance, potentially those supplied by the
United States. In a briefing to the U.N. Security Council, Deputy
Emergency Relief Coordinator Kyung-wha Kang said violence continues to
escalate throughout Syria.

Kyung-wha Kang: "Armed violence continues to escalate throughout the
country. The humanitarian situation in Syria continues to deteriorate.
And the level of violence, death and destructions remain unrelenting."
