BEIRUT - Syrian militants, including members of al-Qaeda's local branch, attacked a government intelligence center in the northern city of Aleppo, damaging much of the building by blowing up a tunnel under it, activists said Tuesday.
The attack on the Air Force Intelligence headquarters began late Monday night and lasted until early Tuesday, said Aleppo-based activist Ahmad Hamed via Skype. He claimed the attack killed dozens of government troops.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the fighting killed 13 militants and killed and wounded more than 20 troops and pro-government gunmen. There was no immediate word from the government on the attack.
