In this Tuesday, Sept. 4, 2012, photo, Syrian rebel fighter, Abu Muslim, 30, a former librarian, poses for a picture at a house where he and others wait their turn to go and fight against government forces in Aleppo, in Marea on the outskirts of Aleppo city, Syria. SyriaÂs rebels have turned to a new tactic of attacking bases, trying to stop the jets and attack helicopters that have wreaked devastation on their fighters and civilians in the battleground city of Aleppo and the nearby countryside. Abu Muslim became a specialist in rocket-propelled grenades during his military service a decade ago.
