GlobalPost Exclusive: Inside Syria’s latest assault

SARAQEB — Just four days ago the Free Syrian Army had total control of this city, the second-largest in Syria’s northestern Idlib Province. Then the tanks rolled in. The Syrian regime’s assault began March 24 and continues today. Activists say that 40 civilians have so far been killed. In the midst of this latest attack, President Bashar al-Assad announced he would accept a UN-sponsored peace plan. But the United States has warned that Assad has broken promises before.
