A picture taken on April 16, 2013 shows the damaged arcades of Aleppo's iconic Umayyad Mosque complex which had served as a key battleground since last July, with rebels seeking the ouster of Bashar al-Assad's regime laying siege twice but each time only managing to retain control for less than 48 hours.
