Aleppo's opposition zone facing 'death or surrender'

Syrian oposition fighters control only a small area of Aleppo that is full of civilians and under very fierce bombardment after pro-regime forces took the al-Maadi district, a Turkey-based official with the Jabha Shamiya opposition group said on Sunday.

Opposition groups in Aleppo had received no word about U.S.-Russia talks to resolve the crisis in Aleppo, the official said, warning that it would end "in a tragic way" without outside intervention and that they faced "death or surrender".
