  Syrian troops retake Christian town north of Damascus October 28, 2013 - 14:12 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Syrian government forces have retaken a Christian town north of Damascus after a week of clashes with al-Qaeda-linked fighters who had recently captured key parts of it, according to the Associated Press. The town had been in opposition hands since last week, when al-Qaeda-linked groups captured a checkpoint that gave them control of the western part of the town. The fighting came as the UN-Arab League envoy headed to Syria for his first trip to the country in almost a year. Lakhdar Brahimi had arrived in Beirut earlier on Monday, Oct 28, and left for Damascus. Brahimi is trying to prepare a peace conference on Syria supposed to take place in Geneva next month.
