US Secretary of State John Kerry has been lobbying European nations to agree with Britain's call on ending an arms embargo towards Syria, in order to allow for the arming of Syrian rebels.

That’s according to a new report from the United Nations’ Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) which has called the situation in Syria a “humanitarian catastrophe”.

Rebel commander Abu Sakkar filmed himself cutting out and eating the organs of a dead pro-regime fighter, and warned that if the bloodshed continues "all Syrian people" will be like him - promising the same fate to Alawites members of Assad’s Shiite.

The Syrian rebel commander branded a "cannibal" after video footage emerged of him biting into a dead regime soldier's heart, has defended his actions as revenge for regime atrocities.

Aleppo - As the conflict in Syria between government forces and armed rebels continues, Palestinian refugees in the war-torn country are increasingly becoming collateral damage.

At least 27 people were killed by Assad's forces in the process of halting a rebel advance aimed at capturing a Syrian military air base near the Lebanese border.

The Syrian opposition has claimed that Assad forces have fired chemical weapons near the capital city of Damascus. They report that at least two were killed and 23 were injured.

Aleppo - According to a brief report carried on the Syrian Arab News Agency today, what the Syrian government controlled agency termed "terrorists" fired a rocket which contained "chemical materials" near Aleppo.

The Syrian rebels say they have captured a military intelligence compound some 8km from the Syrian border with Israel along the Golan Heights where they say Assad's thugs tortured their comrades.

The CIA is gathering information and intelligence that could potentially be utilized should the US have to target with drone strikes Islamist extremists within the ragtag rebel opposition currently trying to uproot the Assad regime in Syria.
