Free Syrian Army Photos 2

A Free Syrian Army fighter reacts after his friend was shot by Syrian Army soldiers during clashes in the Salah al-Din neighbourhood in central Aleppo in this August 4, 2012 file photo. The rebel's friend was killed from a very accurate Syrian army sniper who found a hole in between sandbags and fired. The sniper shot him in the chest. I just ran fast across the street and took the pictures in really bad light - strong highlights and dark shadows. This rebel was definitely close to the fighter who'd been shot. He was in bad shape and crying a lot. Reuters

A Free Syrian Army fighter screams in pain after he was injured in his leg by shrapnel from a shell fired from a Syrian Army tank in the Salaheddine neighbourhood of central Aleppo in this August 7, 2012 file photo. We heard shooting and started running into the building. We heard a large explosion and then the rebel was hit by shrapnel. I was in shock and took some out of focus pictures. It was such a small room with not much light that I had to push the camera up to 3000 ISO. I couldn't see much because there was a lot of smoke. It was really difficult technically to take these pictures. There is a knife on the floor because people had just been eating lunch. Reuters

There is the first in a series of three pictures. In this you can see the tree being hit with the shrapnel. In the second you can see a rebel firing an RPG and the third is just after he fired the RPG. For me, the first one is the most powerful, all shot on a 16mm lens, because you can really see the effect of the shrapnel. It was a very dramatic situation with smoke from the tank shells filling the street behind the fighters. Reuters

Free Syrian Army fighters take a break from the clashes in the Salaheddine neighbourhood of central Aleppo in this August 17, 2012 file photo. On my last day in Aleppo one of the fighters was walking around and looking into the buildings and he found a bird in a birdcage. He took it out of the apartment and onto the streetse with him. The rebels also put this mannequin in the line of sniper fire on the street. Because I don't speak Arabic, I didn't understand exactly what they were doing. They would be laughing one minute and the next minute you would see incoming fire and about 60-70 meters away a tank shell exploding into a building. Reuters

Free Syrian Army fighters carry the body of a fellow fighter during clashes in Aleppo in this August 16, 2012 file photo. When some of the rebels took over a government position a few of their fighters were killed by government forces. Five rebels decided to go on a rescue mission to recover the bodies of their comrades. I went with them. We were literally crawling for 150 meters. They used a long stick, on which they attached a hook to drag the bodies a few meters off the street and into very narrow alleyways. Then they carried the bodies through the streets, passing them to one another through the holes in the buildings. The whole process took about 4-5 hours; it was a really long day. The bodies will be sent back to the families. Reuters

This rebel had been firing at the Syrian army when he came under attack from sniper fire, he was pulling back into a secure position when the picture was taken. I was next to him, on the ground, and shooting with a 20mm lens. The yellow dot on his head is a reflection from the camera lens. Reuters

A Free Syrian Army fighter fires his sniper rifle from a house in Aleppo in this August 14, 2012 file photo. Some fighters took position in the living room of a family house. One rebel sits on the chair eating a chocolate bar as the commander looks out the window to scout the area beside a rebel firing from the window. They told me it was a former Syrian army position and they had killed three soldiers in the house - I could see tracks of blood in the corridor - and taken over their position. There was no one else in the house, except the rebels. Reuters
