Syrian army close to cutting al-Qaeda supply route in Reef Lattakia

The Syrian army made major advances in Reef (countryside of) Lattakia in Western Syria and it is very close to cutting the supply route of the Al-Qaeda in the area. The army pushed back the terrorists from Beit Al-Halabiya region in the Northern outskirts of Lattakia and set the stage for stopping the flow of logistical aids and weapons to the Al-Nusra Front terrorists in the region. The army has set up a base in Al-Malek village to complete its mop-up operations in Lattakia countryside. The Syrian army has now pushed back Al-Nusra militants to Rabiya region. The conflict in Syria started in March 2011, when sporadic pro-reform protests turned into a massive insurgency following the intervention of western and regional states. The unrest, which took in terrorist groups from across Europe, the Middle-East and North Africa, has transpired as one of the bloodiest conflicts in recent history. As the foreign-backed insurgency in Syria continues without an end in sight, the US government has boosted its political and military support to Takfiri extremists. Washington has remained indifferent to warnings by Russia and other world powers about the consequences of arming militant groups.
