Under the agreement, all rebel groups have a Wednesday deadline to withdraw all their heavy weaponry from a 15- to 20-kilometre (nine- to 12-mile) buffer zone along the front line in Idlib province and adjacent areas of the northwest. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2RBgVZP via Latest News
