    SYRIAN REBELS TARGETING ALEPPO'S CHURCHES, SAYS PRELATE

    The Armenian Catholic archbishop of Aleppo, Syria's largest city,
    has told the Fides news agency that rebel forces have surrounded the
    city and are targeting churches.

    Archbishop Boutros Marayati said that he and his Orthodox counterpart
    have "found homes and schools destroyed, and many people have sought
    refuge in churches, which are also targeted."

    Rebel forces have also gained control of the city's water supply and
    have cut off water to the city for days at a time. "In our churches
    and mosques, in order to meet the emergency, we have reactivated
    ancient wells that provide access to groundwater faults," said
    Archbishop Marayati.
