Opposition forces have launched a offensive on the Dumayr's weapon depot and managed to capture the area surrounding it, according to opposition sources the Islamic Front launched this offensive a week ago together with a less known brigade called Liwaa Magawir Al-Sahra(Desert Commando Brigade).

The Syrian army responded heavily after the offensive by carrying out multiple air raids on Dumayr city. Dumayr forms a strategic area as it is the main route from Damascus to Homs and the coast.
It is unknown how many fighters have participated in the battle for this weapon depot but after a week of heavy clashes the opposition fighters managed to capture the weapons depot.
Opposition sources claimed that many civilians have died during these air raids, Syrian government has not responded to this but claimed in a news broadcast that many fighters were killed during the fighting in Dumayr.
Dear Prime Minister Stephen Harper - Canada environment is not your's t...
Read it and weep --- According to the 'Conference Board of Canad'
Canada receives a "C" grade on environmental performance and ranks 15th out of 17 peer countries.
Despite a decade or so of innovation agendas and prosperity reports, Canada remains near the bottom of its peer group on innovation, ranking 13th among the 16 peer countries. Despite some improvement, Canadians are still the largest users of energy in the developed world.
This study compares Canada's environmental record to the other industrialized nations in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development
The study provides accurate, independent information about Canada's track record in protecting the environment. All of the statistical information comes from data verified and published by the OECD.
The results prove that Canada has one of the poorest environmental records of the industrialized countries. The primary finding is that for the twenty-five environmental indicators examined, Canada's overall ranking among OECD nations is a dismal 28th out of 29.

2013 news review: Typhoon Haiyan, Boston Bombings and Ariel Castro
Terrorism, a number of high profile shootings and a typhoon saw tragedy and devastation fill the year of 2013. However, there were glimmers of positivity as captured women were freed and new babies emerged from a terrible natural disaster.
February saw the world wake up to a shock on Valentine's Day. South African athlete Oscar Pistorius's girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp shot dead at their home. Pistorius was arrested for her premeditated murder. A trial will be held in March next year and the athlete denies murdering the model and says he shot her by mistake thinking she was an intruder.
April saw the first of what later become acts of terrorism. As runners were finishing the Boston marathon, two bombs exploded killing three people and injuring more than 250. Two suspects were identified as Chechen-born brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokar Tsarnaev. The FBI tracked them down and Tamerlan was shot dead in a gun battle. Dzhokar was found hiding in a boat with a bloodied face. He could face the death penalty.
A few months later gunmen linked to the al-Shabaab movement stormed the Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya and went on the rampage. At least 72 people were killed, including 61 civilians. A shoot-out with Kenyan forces eventually saw the perpetrators shot dead. The Islamist group said the attack was tribution for Kenyan military being in Somalia
Many families in the Philippines are spending Christmas with their lives still devastated by Typhoon Haiyan. It was powerful tropical cyclone that killed more than 6,000 people.
However, despite all the tragedy that 2013 brought there were moving stories emerging. Amanda Berry, Georgina "Gina" DeJesus, and Michelle Knight were rescued from a house in Cleveland, Ohio, after being held captive by Ariel Castro for more than a decade. He pled guilty to rape, kidnapping and aggravated murder but was later found dead in his cell.

Forces in Afghanistan are on high alert after officials say a suspected suicide bomber attacks a military convoy outside Kabul. Officials say the attack killed at least three foreign soldiers. It's unknown how many were injured. (SOUNDBITE) (Dari) BAKER AND EYEWITNESS, NIAMATULLAH, SAYING: "After the blast my bakery windows broke. Later on, smoke covered the area then Americans arrived and carried three bodies from the scene." The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack which comes as President Hamid Karzai deliberates over an agreement allowing U.S. forces to stay in the country beyond 2014. Many Afghans, including a number of tribal leaders, have urged Karzai to sign the U.S. pact quickly. Some are concerned about security in the country after 2014 when most foreign forces are leaving.

The group of 74 scientists, tourists and crew aboard a Russian ship stuck in ice off Antarctica are still stranded, although blizzard conditions that hit the ship on Thursday now appear to have eased somewhat. A Chinese icebreaker Snow Dragon attempted to reach the ship on Saturday (December 28, 2013), and came within six-and-a-half nautical miles of the stranded vessel, but then encountered ice so heavy it could not break through.
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) is coordinating the rescue of the Russian passenger ship MV Akademik Shokalskiy. AMSA spokeswoman Andrea Hayward-Maher told AFP:
The Chinese vessel unfortunately encountered some heavy ice that it’s not capable of breaking through. The rescue… unfortunately has stalled.
The Russian ship has been icebound about 100 nautical miles east of the French base Dumont d’Urville since Tuesday, December 24.
Three vessels with icebreaking capability had been attempting to reach the stranded Russian ship. The Chinese icebreaker Snow Dragon had been expected to get there first, late Friday, but it had to turn back. The French icebreaker, L’Astrolabe, is now said to have been released by rescue authorities from having to continue with the mission around midday on Saturday.
Now only the Australian Antarctic Division’s Aurora Australis continues to head toward the trapped Russian ship. It’s not expected to reach the area until Sunday evening.
Those aboard the trapped ship are said to have plenty of supplies and remain comfortable at this time.
