FILE - In this Monday September 24, 2012 file photo, a Free Syrian Army fighter, left, helps traders, right, as they remove their stock from their shops, at the souk of the old city of Aleppo city, Syria. Wealthy Syrians say the violence from the 19-month civil war has pommeled their businesses, but the squeeze from a complex array of sanctions is the noose slowly strangling their country's buckling economy. They warn that if their companies tank, thousands of employees may find themselves out of work and dragged into the fighting. Today, streets are manned by checkpoints and tanks. Construction on new apartment complexes has stopped as plumes of smoke rise from the city's hard-hit suburbs. In Aleppo, bombs have ripped through the city and a more than two-month long government offensive there has not only killed hundreds of civilians, but damaged ancient sites and demolished entire neighborhoods. Arabic on the closed shop at right reads,"Aleppo." (AP Photo/Hussein Malla, File)
