Clinton concerned over massing Syrian forces near Alleppo

Speaking at a meeting held with Israeli President Shimon Peres at the Brooklyn Institute in Washington on Tuesday, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned the Syrian regime about massing Syrian forces near Aleppo over the last two days, saying such a deployment could be a "red line" for Syria's northern neighbor Turkey "in terms of their strategic and national interests." Clinton said that the US was "concerned about the latest information we have that there are attack helicopters on the way from Russia to Syria," adding that the shipment "will escalate the conflict quite dramatically."
