Battling a Sniper

Fighters from the Free Syrian Army attempt to shoot at a regime sniper in the neighborhood of Salahadin in Aleppo, Syria on July 31, 2012. Salahadin is now nearly empty of its estimated 200,000 residents. The men who stayed to fight, armed with only RPGs, homemade bombs and AK-47 assault rifles, are often outgunned by the Syrian regime's forces.
