Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said a plane intercepted on its way from Moscow to Damascus was carrying military equipment and ammunition to Syria. Erdogan said the cargo seized by Turkish authorities late on Wednesday was destined for the Syrian military. Syria has denied that the Syrian Air Airbus A320 was carrying an illicit cargo. The incident inflamed already-heightened tension between the two neighbours. Turkey and Syria, which were once close allies, have been exchanging artillery fire across the 910-kilometre (565 mile) border for days. Nearly 100,000 Syrian refugees are being housed in Turkey, according to Turkey's prime minister. *** Historic buildings in the ancient city of Aleppo, Syria sustained terrible damage due to the intensity of fighting between the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and the forces of Bashar Assad's regime. Footage from the city, shot on October 12th, shows buildings reduced to rubble and streets lined with debris following weeks of indiscriminate bombardment by tanks and helicopters. *** *** *** You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/youtube/ddb61fc579944b98ab94981f906d0a64 Find out more about AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/HowWeWork
