ALEPPO, Syria: A Syrian official source told Reuters that a second convoy of evacuees was likely to leave rebel-held Aleppo areas for the countryside on Thursday after a first convoy departed earlier.

"The initial information is that the operation will continue today. Around 15 new buses are being prepared to evacuate the second group from the areas under the militants' control," the source said.
