"The rebel brigades who have been putting the airport under siege decided yesterday that the airport is a fair target," said Nabil al-Amir, a spokesman for the rebels' Damascus Military Council.

"The airport is now full of armoured vehicles and soldiers ... Civilians who approach it now do so at their own risk." (Reporting by Erika Solomon; Editing by Janet Lawrence)
