Despite the excitement and exhaustion of the night, the farmer reported that having ten puppies around would be 'fun', and said that his Herdwick sheep should watch out for their future herders. The busy farmer went to bed himself and woke up seven hours later to ten healthy puppies wriggling about their tired mum . 'Sheep be warned. Cavalry is coming,' he said. After Mr Rebanks tweets garnered attention from social media users all over the world, he woke to a staggering 40,000 Twitter followers. 'Where did you all come from? Been feeding my sheep and suddenly lots of new followers and whizzed past 40k. Hello,' he tweeted. Mr Rebanks is no stranger to surges in his Twitter followers, after gaining nearly 20,000 followers for his photos of his prized Herdwick sheep on the social media site. Mr Rebanks, whose family has been farming in the district for almost 600 years, is also the author of The Shepherd's Life: A Tale of the Lake District.

But Mr.
Welland was terribly upset; he had a slight temperature every morning
while we were waiting to hear what had been decided. It was the horror
of his girl's learning that such things were possible--but of course,
dear Newland, you felt that too. We all knew that you were thinking of
May." "I'm always thinking of May," the young man rejoined, rising to cut
short the conversation. He had meant to seize the opportunity of his private talk with Mrs.
Welland to urge her to advance the date of his marriage. But he could
think of no arguments that would move her, and with a sense of relief
he saw Mr. Welland and May driving up to the door. His only hope was to plead again with May, and on the day before his
departure he walked with her to the ruinous garden of the Spanish
Mission. The background lent itself to allusions to European scenes;
and May, who was looking her loveliest under a wide-brimmed hat that
cast a shadow of mystery over her too-clear eyes, kindled into
eagerness as he spoke of Granada and the Alhambra. "We might be seeing it all this spring--even the Easter ceremonies at
Seville," he urged, exaggerating his demands in the hope of a larger
concession. "Easter in Seville? And it will be Lent next week!" she laughed. "Why shouldn't we be married in Lent?" he rejoined; but she looked so
shocked that he saw his mistake. "Of course I didn't mean that, dearest; but soon after Easter--so that
we could sail at the end of April. I know I could arrange it at the
office." She smiled dreamily upon the possibility; but he perceived that to
dream of it sufficed her. It was like hearing him read aloud out of
his poetry books the beautiful things that could not possibly happen in
real life. "Oh, do go on, Newland; I do love your descriptions." "But why should they be only descriptions? Why shouldn't we make them
real?" "We shall, dearest, of course; next year." Her voice lingered over it. "Don't you want them to be real sooner? Can't I persuade you to break
away now?" She bowed her head, vanishing from him under her conniving hat-brim. "Why should we dream away another year? Look at me, dear! Don't you
understand how I want you for my wife?" For a moment she remained motionless; then she raised on him eyes of
such despairing dearness that he half-released her waist from his hold.

Welland was terribly upset; he had a slight temperature every morning
while we were waiting to hear what had been decided. It was the horror
of his girl's learning that such things were possible--but of course,
dear Newland, you felt that too. We all knew that you were thinking of
May." "I'm always thinking of May," the young man rejoined, rising to cut
short the conversation. He had meant to seize the opportunity of his private talk with Mrs.
Welland to urge her to advance the date of his marriage. But he could
think of no arguments that would move her, and with a sense of relief
he saw Mr. Welland and May driving up to the door. His only hope was to plead again with May, and on the day before his
departure he walked with her to the ruinous garden of the Spanish
Mission. The background lent itself to allusions to European scenes;
and May, who was looking her loveliest under a wide-brimmed hat that
cast a shadow of mystery over her too-clear eyes, kindled into
eagerness as he spoke of Granada and the Alhambra. "We might be seeing it all this spring--even the Easter ceremonies at
Seville," he urged, exaggerating his demands in the hope of a larger
concession. "Easter in Seville? And it will be Lent next week!" she laughed. "Why shouldn't we be married in Lent?" he rejoined; but she looked so
shocked that he saw his mistake. "Of course I didn't mean that, dearest; but soon after Easter--so that
we could sail at the end of April. I know I could arrange it at the
office." She smiled dreamily upon the possibility; but he perceived that to
dream of it sufficed her. It was like hearing him read aloud out of
his poetry books the beautiful things that could not possibly happen in
real life. "Oh, do go on, Newland; I do love your descriptions." "But why should they be only descriptions? Why shouldn't we make them
real?" "We shall, dearest, of course; next year." Her voice lingered over it. "Don't you want them to be real sooner? Can't I persuade you to break
away now?" She bowed her head, vanishing from him under her conniving hat-brim. "Why should we dream away another year? Look at me, dear! Don't you
understand how I want you for my wife?" For a moment she remained motionless; then she raised on him eyes of
such despairing dearness that he half-released her waist from his hold.

real?" "We shall, dearest, of course; next year." Her voice lingered over it. "Don't you want them to be real sooner? Can't I persuade you to break
away now?" She bowed her head, vanishing from him under her conniving hat-brim. "Why should we dream away another year? Look at me, dear! Don't you
understand how I want you for my wife?" For a moment she remained motionless; then she raised on him eyes of
such despairing dearness that he half-released her waist from his hold.

But Mr.
Welland was terribly upset; he had a slight temperature every morning
while we were waiting to hear what had been decided. It was the horror
of his girl's learning that such things were possible--but of course,
dear Newland, you felt that too. We all knew that you were thinking of
May." "I'm always thinking of May," the young man rejoined, rising to cut
short the conversation. He had meant to seize the opportunity of his private talk with Mrs.
Welland to urge her to advance the date of his marriage. But he could
think of no arguments that would move her, and with a sense of relief
he saw Mr. Welland and May driving up to the door. His only hope was to plead again with May, and on the day before his
departure he walked with her to the ruinous garden of the Spanish
Mission. The background lent itself to allusions to European scenes;
and May, who was looking her loveliest under a wide-brimmed hat that
cast a shadow of mystery over her too-clear eyes, kindled into
eagerness as he spoke of Granada and the Alhambra. "We might be seeing it all this spring--even the Easter ceremonies at
Seville," he urged, exaggerating his demands in the hope of a larger
concession. "Easter in Seville? And it will be Lent next week!" she laughed. "Why shouldn't we be married in Lent?" he rejoined; but she looked so
shocked that he saw his mistake. "Of course I didn't mean that, dearest; but soon after Easter--so that
we could sail at the end of April. I know I could arrange it at the
office." She smiled dreamily upon the possibility; but he perceived that to
dream of it sufficed her. It was like hearing him read aloud out of
his poetry books the beautiful things that could not possibly happen in
real life. "Oh, do go on, Newland; I do love your descriptions." "But why should they be only descriptions? Why shouldn't we make them
real?" "We shall, dearest, of course; next year." Her voice lingered over it. "Don't you want them to be real sooner? Can't I persuade you to break

Welland to urge her to advance the date of his marriage. But he could
think of no arguments that would move her, and with a sense of relief
he saw Mr. Welland and May driving up to the door. His only hope was to plead again with May, and on the day before his
departure he walked with her to the ruinous garden of the Spanish
Mission. The background lent itself to allusions to European scenes;
and May, who was looking her loveliest under a wide-brimmed hat that
cast a shadow of mystery over her too-clear eyes, kindled into
eagerness as he spoke of Granada and the Alhambra. "We might be seeing it all this spring--even the Easter ceremonies at
Seville," he urged, exaggerating his demands in the hope of a larger
concession. "Easter in Seville? And it will be Lent next week!" she laughed. "Why shouldn't we be married in Lent?" he rejoined; but she looked so
shocked that he saw his mistake. "Of course I didn't mean that, dearest; but soon after Easter--so that
we could sail at the end of April. I know I could arrange it at the
office." She smiled dreamily upon the possibility; but he perceived that to
dream of it sufficed her. It was like hearing him read aloud out of
his poetry books the beautiful things that could not possibly happen in
real life. "Oh, do go on, Newland; I do love your descriptions." "But why should they be only descriptions? Why shouldn't we make them
real?" "We shall, dearest, of course; next year." Her voice lingered over it. "Don't you want them to be real sooner? Can't I persuade you to break
away now?" She bowed her head, vanishing from him under her conniving hat-brim. "Why should we dream away another year? Look at me, dear! Don't you
understand how I want you for my wife?" For a moment she remained motionless; then she raised on him eyes of
such despairing dearness that he half-released her waist from his hold.

A deadly Al Qaeda-linked terror attack on a Syrian regime intelligence headquarters yesterday was so massive it measured 2.3 on the Richter scale and registered as an earthquake. At least 20 regime security force members and 14 rebels were killed in the west of Aleppo - the largest city in Syria and the frontline in battles between the Assad regime, the Islamic State, Western-backed rebel groups and the Al Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front. The latter group are believed to have carried out yesterday's attack targeting air force intelligence offices, in which they used a tunnel to detonate bombs, creating an explosion so huge that the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre mistook it for an earthquake. Scroll down for video . Attack: The citadel (background) in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo was where 34 people were killed yesterday when Al Qaeda-backed rebels set off a powerful tunnel explosion targeting an intelligence HQ . Huge: Yesterday's terror attack created an explosion so massive that the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre mistook it for an 2.3 magnitude earthquake . Watching the destruction: Members of Syrian opposition forces are seen hiding behind rubble after they blow up the tunnel beneath the Syrian Air Intelligence Directorate's Aleppo branch . Yesterday's attack came just days after the opposition rejected a UN ceasefire plan for the city and as President Bashar al-Assad insisted he continues to enjoy the support of the Syrian people despite nearly four years of war and international pressure on his regime. 'The goal was to storm the building and to control it, but they failed,' Rami Abdel Rahman, the director of UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group . Six civilians were also killed in separate rebel shelling of regime-controlled areas, he said. The attack began with a huge blast from explosives in a tunnel near the intelligence building, the Observatory and a Syrian military source said. 'Gunmen blew up a tunnel that they dug (into the regime-controlled sector) and then attacked the area surrounding the air force intelligence headquarters,' the military source said. Journalists in eastern Aleppo said the blast was heard across the city. It later emerged that the explosion was so huge that it measured 2.3 on the Richter scale and was registered as an earthquake by the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre.

Smoke rises after Syrian opposition forces blow up the Syrian Air Intelligence Directorate's Aleppo branch . Carnage: The Syrian Air Intelligence Directorate's Aleppo branch is seen going up in smoke after the attack . Rebels from several factions then launched on assault on the building, part of which had collapsed from the explosion, said the Observatory, which relies on a network of sources inside Syria. The rebels faced heavy resistance from government troops supported by fighters from Lebanese Shiite militant group Hezbollah, a key backer of Assad, it said. The assault was repelled with the help of regime air strikes on rebel positions and the clashes eventually subsided. 'Dozens of (rebel) gunmen were killed in artillery and air strikes. The situation is quiet now in the area. There are minor sporadic clashes,' the Syrian military source said. Al-Qaeda's affiliate in Syria, Nusra Front, said on Twitter that its forces, along with other rebel factions, had 'stormed the air force intelligence offices and surrounding buildings'. The attack was the worst reported violence in Aleppo since the rebels rejected a UN plan to freeze fighting in the northern city on Sunday. UN envoy Staffan de Mistura has made the plan for a temporary ceasefire in Aleppo the centrepiece of his efforts to bring any kind of halt to the conflict in Syria, where more than 220,000 people have been killed since it erupted in March 2011. Militants: Yesterday's attack targeting air force intelligence offices is understood to have been carried out by members of the Al Qaeda-affiliated terror group Nusra Front (pictured) On the run: Members of the rebel First Army try to hide from Assad regime forces' snipers in Aleppo . Warzone: Once Syria's commercial hub, Aleppo has been devastated by fighting that began in mid-2012, and the city is now split between loyalist forces and rebels . De Mistura in October unveiled the proposal to suspend fighting in Aleppo to allow humanitarian aid deliveries and make a first step towards a broader political deal. He held talks in Damascus on Saturday to try to finalise a deal, with a delegation member saying he hoped to set in motion as soon as possible a plan to halt fighting in Aleppo for six weeks. But rebel representatives refused to consider the proposal unless it forms the basis for a 'comprehensive solution' to the conflict through the departure of Assad. De Mistura has angered the opposition by describing Assad as 'part of the solution' to the Syrian conflict. Some Western powers have also cast doubt on the plan, with the French ambassador to the United Nations, Francois Delattre, saying Tuesday that 'France remains sceptical about the regime's willingness' to follow through on it. Blast: Civilians and civil defense members run past flames and smoke rising from a site hit by what activists said was a barrel bomb dropped by forces loyal to Syria's President Bashar al-Assad in Aleppo this morning .

Crunch talks: Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Moqdad (left) meets with United Nations special envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura (right) in Damascus last month to discuss the ongoing civil war in the country . Assad yesterday told Portuguese broadcaster RTP that the image of him presented in the West was deeply skewed. 'The people are against him, the regional countries are against him and the West is against him, and (still) he succeeded,' Assad said, speaking in English. 'You're either lying to us or you're talking about Superman because if you don't have Superman, (if) he's a regular president, it means he could withstand four years only because he has the public support.' Wednesday's attack featured a favoured tactic of Syria's rebels -- especially in Aleppo -- of digging tunnels near government buildings and setting off explosives. Fighting in Aleppo erupted in mid-2012, and control of the city -- once Syria's commercial hub -- has since been divided between rebels on the eastern side and the regime in the west. The air force intelligence headquarters in Aleppo is a key strategic site for regime forces and the surrounding area has come under repeated attack from rebel forces.

A deadly Al Qaeda-linked terror attack on a Syrian regime intelligence headquarters yesterday was so massive it measured 2.3 on the Richter scale and registered as an earthquake. At least 20 regime security force members and 14 rebels were killed in the west of Aleppo - the largest city in Syria and the frontline in battles between the Assad regime, the Islamic State, Western-backed rebel groups and the Al Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front. The latter group are believed to have carried out yesterday's attack targeting air force intelligence offices, in which they used a tunnel to detonate bombs, creating an explosion so huge that the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre mistook it for an earthquake. Scroll down for video . Attack: The citadel (background) in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo was where 34 people were killed yesterday when Al Qaeda-backed rebels set off a powerful tunnel explosion targeting an intelligence HQ . Huge: Yesterday's terror attack created an explosion so massive that the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre mistook it for an 2.3 magnitude earthquake . Watching the destruction: Members of Syrian opposition forces are seen hiding behind rubble after they blow up the tunnel beneath the Syrian Air Intelligence Directorate's Aleppo branch . Yesterday's attack came just days after the opposition rejected a UN ceasefire plan for the city and as President Bashar al-Assad insisted he continues to enjoy the support of the Syrian people despite nearly four years of war and international pressure on his regime. 'The goal was to storm the building and to control it, but they failed,' Rami Abdel Rahman, the director of UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group . Six civilians were also killed in separate rebel shelling of regime-controlled areas, he said. The attack began with a huge blast from explosives in a tunnel near the intelligence building, the Observatory and a Syrian military source said. 'Gunmen blew up a tunnel that they dug (into the regime-controlled sector) and then attacked the area surrounding the air force intelligence headquarters,' the military source said. Journalists in eastern Aleppo said the blast was heard across the city. It later emerged that the explosion was so huge that it measured 2.3 on the Richter scale and was registered as an earthquake by the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre.

Carnage: The Syrian Air Intelligence Directorate's Aleppo branch is seen going up in smoke after the attack . Rebels from several factions then launched on assault on the building, part of which had collapsed from the explosion, said the Observatory, which relies on a network of sources inside Syria. The rebels faced heavy resistance from government troops supported by fighters from Lebanese Shiite militant group Hezbollah, a key backer of Assad, it said. The assault was repelled with the help of regime air strikes on rebel positions and the clashes eventually subsided. 'Dozens of (rebel) gunmen were killed in artillery and air strikes. The situation is quiet now in the area. There are minor sporadic clashes,' the Syrian military source said. Al-Qaeda's affiliate in Syria, Nusra Front, said on Twitter that its forces, along with other rebel factions, had 'stormed the air force intelligence offices and surrounding buildings'. The attack was the worst reported violence in Aleppo since the rebels rejected a UN plan to freeze fighting in the northern city on Sunday. UN envoy Staffan de Mistura has made the plan for a temporary ceasefire in Aleppo the centrepiece of his efforts to bring any kind of halt to the conflict in Syria, where more than 220,000 people have been killed since it erupted in March 2011.

A deadly Al Qaeda-linked terror attack on a Syrian regime intelligence headquarters yesterday was so massive it measured 2.3 on the Richter scale and registered as an earthquake. At least 20 regime security force members and 14 rebels were killed in the west of Aleppo - the largest city in Syria and the frontline in battles between the Assad regime, the Islamic State, Western-backed rebel groups and the Al Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front. The latter group are believed to have carried out yesterday's attack targeting air force intelligence offices, in which they used a tunnel to detonate bombs, creating an explosion so huge that the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre mistook it for an earthquake. Scroll down for video . Attack: The citadel (background) in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo was where 34 people were killed yesterday when Al Qaeda-backed rebels set off a powerful tunnel explosion targeting an intelligence HQ . Huge: Yesterday's terror attack created an explosion so massive that the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre mistook it for an 2.3 magnitude earthquake . Watching the destruction: Members of Syrian opposition forces are seen hiding behind rubble after they blow up the tunnel beneath the Syrian Air Intelligence Directorate's Aleppo branch . Yesterday's attack came just days after the opposition rejected a UN ceasefire plan for the city and as President Bashar al-Assad insisted he continues to enjoy the support of the Syrian people despite nearly four years of war and international pressure on his regime. 'The goal was to storm the building and to control it, but they failed,' Rami Abdel Rahman, the director of UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group . Six civilians were also killed in separate rebel shelling of regime-controlled areas, he said. The attack began with a huge blast from explosives in a tunnel near the intelligence building, the Observatory and a Syrian military source said. 'Gunmen blew up a tunnel that they dug (into the regime-controlled sector) and then attacked the area surrounding the air force intelligence headquarters,' the military source said. Journalists in eastern Aleppo said the blast was heard across the city. It later emerged that the explosion was so huge that it measured 2.3 on the Richter scale and was registered as an earthquake by the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre.

Carnage: The Syrian Air Intelligence Directorate's Aleppo branch is seen going up in smoke after the attack . Rebels from several factions then launched on assault on the building, part of which had collapsed from the explosion, said the Observatory, which relies on a network of sources inside Syria. The rebels faced heavy resistance from government troops supported by fighters from Lebanese Shiite militant group Hezbollah, a key backer of Assad, it said. The assault was repelled with the help of regime air strikes on rebel positions and the clashes eventually subsided. 'Dozens of (rebel) gunmen were killed in artillery and air strikes. The situation is quiet now in the area. There are minor sporadic clashes,' the Syrian military source said. Al-Qaeda's affiliate in Syria, Nusra Front, said on Twitter that its forces, along with other rebel factions, had 'stormed the air force intelligence offices and surrounding buildings'. The attack was the worst reported violence in Aleppo since the rebels rejected a UN plan to freeze fighting in the northern city on Sunday. UN envoy Staffan de Mistura has made the plan for a temporary ceasefire in Aleppo the centrepiece of his efforts to bring any kind of halt to the conflict in Syria, where more than 220,000 people have been killed since it erupted in March 2011.

He held talks in Damascus on Saturday to try to finalise a deal, with a delegation member saying he hoped to set in motion as soon as possible a plan to halt fighting in Aleppo for six weeks. But rebel representatives refused to consider the proposal unless it forms the basis for a 'comprehensive solution' to the conflict through the departure of Assad.

Crunch talks: Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Moqdad (left) meets with United Nations special envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura (right) in Damascus last month to discuss the ongoing civil war in the country . Assad yesterday told Portuguese broadcaster RTP that the image of him presented in the West was deeply skewed. 'The people are against him, the regional countries are against him and the West is against him, and (still) he succeeded,' Assad said, speaking in English. 'You're either lying to us or you're talking about Superman because if you don't have Superman, (if) he's a regular president, it means he could withstand four years only because he has the public support.' Wednesday's attack featured a favoured tactic of Syria's rebels -- especially in Aleppo -- of digging tunnels near government buildings and setting off explosives. Fighting in Aleppo erupted in mid-2012, and control of the city -- once Syria's commercial hub -- has since been divided between rebels on the eastern side and the regime in the west. The air force intelligence headquarters in Aleppo is a key strategic site for regime forces and the surrounding area has come under repeated attack from rebel forces.

A deadly Al Qaeda-linked terror attack on a Syrian regime intelligence headquarters yesterday was so massive it measured 2.3 on the Richter scale and registered as an earthquake. At least 20 regime security force members and 14 rebels were killed in the west of Aleppo - the largest city in Syria and the frontline in battles between the Assad regime, the Islamic State, Western-backed rebel groups and the Al Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front. The latter group are believed to have carried out yesterday's attack targeting air force intelligence offices, in which they used a tunnel to detonate bombs, creating an explosion so huge that the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre mistook it for an earthquake. Scroll down for video . Attack: The citadel (background) in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo was where 34 people were killed yesterday when Al Qaeda-backed rebels set off a powerful tunnel explosion targeting an intelligence HQ . Huge: Yesterday's terror attack created an explosion so massive that the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre mistook it for an 2.3 magnitude earthquake . Watching the destruction: Members of Syrian opposition forces are seen hiding behind rubble after they blow up the tunnel beneath the Syrian Air Intelligence Directorate's Aleppo branch . Yesterday's attack came just days after the opposition rejected a UN ceasefire plan for the city and as President Bashar al-Assad insisted he continues to enjoy the support of the Syrian people despite nearly four years of war and international pressure on his regime. 'The goal was to storm the building and to control it, but they failed,' Rami Abdel Rahman, the director of UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group . Six civilians were also killed in separate rebel shelling of regime-controlled areas, he said. The attack began with a huge blast from explosives in a tunnel near the intelligence building, the Observatory and a Syrian military source said. 'Gunmen blew up a tunnel that they dug (into the regime-controlled sector) and then attacked the area surrounding the air force intelligence headquarters,' the military source said. Journalists in eastern Aleppo said the blast was heard across the city. It later emerged that the explosion was so huge that it measured 2.3 on the Richter scale and was registered as an earthquake by the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre.

Carnage: The Syrian Air Intelligence Directorate's Aleppo branch is seen going up in smoke after the attack . Rebels from several factions then launched on assault on the building, part of which had collapsed from the explosion, said the Observatory, which relies on a network of sources inside Syria. The rebels faced heavy resistance from government troops supported by fighters from Lebanese Shiite militant group Hezbollah, a key backer of Assad, it said. The assault was repelled with the help of regime air strikes on rebel positions and the clashes eventually subsided. 'Dozens of (rebel) gunmen were killed in artillery and air strikes. The situation is quiet now in the area. There are minor sporadic clashes,' the Syrian military source said. Al-Qaeda's affiliate in Syria, Nusra Front, said on Twitter that its forces, along with other rebel factions, had 'stormed the air force intelligence offices and surrounding buildings'. The attack was the worst reported violence in Aleppo since the rebels rejected a UN plan to freeze fighting in the northern city on Sunday. UN envoy Staffan de Mistura has made the plan for a temporary ceasefire in Aleppo the centrepiece of his efforts to bring any kind of halt to the conflict in Syria, where more than 220,000 people have been killed since it erupted in March 2011.

He held talks in Damascus on Saturday to try to finalise a deal, with a delegation member saying he hoped to set in motion as soon as possible a plan to halt fighting in Aleppo for six weeks. But rebel representatives refused to consider the proposal unless it forms the basis for a 'comprehensive solution' to the conflict through the departure of Assad. De Mistura has angered the opposition by describing Assad as 'part of the solution' to the Syrian conflict.

'The people are against him, the regional countries are against him and the West is against him, and (still) he succeeded,' Assad said, speaking in English. 'You're either lying to us or you're talking about Superman because if you don't have Superman, (if) he's a regular president, it means he could withstand four years only because he has the public support.' Wednesday's attack featured a favoured tactic of Syria's rebels -- especially in Aleppo -- of digging tunnels near government buildings and setting off explosives. Fighting in Aleppo erupted in mid-2012, and control of the city -- once Syria's commercial hub -- has since been divided between rebels on the eastern side and the regime in the west. The air force intelligence headquarters in Aleppo is a key strategic site for regime forces and the surrounding area has come under repeated attack from rebel forces.

A deadly Al Qaeda-linked terror attack on a Syrian regime intelligence headquarters yesterday was so massive it measured 2.3 on the Richter scale and registered as an earthquake. At least 20 regime security force members and 14 rebels were killed in the west of Aleppo - the largest city in Syria and the frontline in battles between the Assad regime, the Islamic State, Western-backed rebel groups and the Al Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front. The latter group are believed to have carried out yesterday's attack targeting air force intelligence offices, in which they used a tunnel to detonate bombs, creating an explosion so huge that the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre mistook it for an earthquake. Scroll down for video . Attack: The citadel (background) in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo was where 34 people were killed yesterday when Al Qaeda-backed rebels set off a powerful tunnel explosion targeting an intelligence HQ . Huge: Yesterday's terror attack created an explosion so massive that the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre mistook it for an 2.3 magnitude earthquake . Watching the destruction: Members of Syrian opposition forces are seen hiding behind rubble after they blow up the tunnel beneath the Syrian Air Intelligence Directorate's Aleppo branch . Yesterday's attack came just days after the opposition rejected a UN ceasefire plan for the city and as President Bashar al-Assad insisted he continues to enjoy the support of the Syrian people despite nearly four years of war and international pressure on his regime. 'The goal was to storm the building and to control it, but they failed,' Rami Abdel Rahman, the director of UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group . Six civilians were also killed in separate rebel shelling of regime-controlled areas, he said. The attack began with a huge blast from explosives in a tunnel near the intelligence building, the Observatory and a Syrian military source said. 'Gunmen blew up a tunnel that they dug (into the regime-controlled sector) and then attacked the area surrounding the air force intelligence headquarters,' the military source said. Journalists in eastern Aleppo said the blast was heard across the city. It later emerged that the explosion was so huge that it measured 2.3 on the Richter scale and was registered as an earthquake by the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre.

Carnage: The Syrian Air Intelligence Directorate's Aleppo branch is seen going up in smoke after the attack . Rebels from several factions then launched on assault on the building, part of which had collapsed from the explosion, said the Observatory, which relies on a network of sources inside Syria. The rebels faced heavy resistance from government troops supported by fighters from Lebanese Shiite militant group Hezbollah, a key backer of Assad, it said. The assault was repelled with the help of regime air strikes on rebel positions and the clashes eventually subsided. 'Dozens of (rebel) gunmen were killed in artillery and air strikes. The situation is quiet now in the area. There are minor sporadic clashes,' the Syrian military source said. Al-Qaeda's affiliate in Syria, Nusra Front, said on Twitter that its forces, along with other rebel factions, had 'stormed the air force intelligence offices and surrounding buildings'. The attack was the worst reported violence in Aleppo since the rebels rejected a UN plan to freeze fighting in the northern city on Sunday. UN envoy Staffan de Mistura has made the plan for a temporary ceasefire in Aleppo the centrepiece of his efforts to bring any kind of halt to the conflict in Syria, where more than 220,000 people have been killed since it erupted in March 2011.

De Mistura in October unveiled the proposal to suspend fighting in Aleppo to allow humanitarian aid deliveries and make a first step towards a broader political deal. He held talks in Damascus on Saturday to try to finalise a deal, with a delegation member saying he hoped to set in motion as soon as possible a plan to halt fighting in Aleppo for six weeks. But rebel representatives refused to consider the proposal unless it forms the basis for a 'comprehensive solution' to the conflict through the departure of Assad. De Mistura has angered the opposition by describing Assad as 'part of the solution' to the Syrian conflict. Some Western powers have also cast doubt on the plan, with the French ambassador to the United Nations, Francois Delattre, saying Tuesday that 'France remains sceptical about the regime's willingness' to follow through on it.

'You're either lying to us or you're talking about Superman because if you don't have Superman, (if) he's a regular president, it means he could withstand four years only because he has the public support.' Wednesday's attack featured a favoured tactic of Syria's rebels -- especially in Aleppo -- of digging tunnels near government buildings and setting off explosives. Fighting in Aleppo erupted in mid-2012, and control of the city -- once Syria's commercial hub -- has since been divided between rebels on the eastern side and the regime in the west. The air force intelligence headquarters in Aleppo is a key strategic site for regime forces and the surrounding area has come under repeated attack from rebel forces.

A deadly Al Qaeda-linked terror attack on a Syrian regime intelligence headquarters yesterday was so massive it measured 2.3 on the Richter scale and registered as an earthquake. At least 20 regime security force members and 14 rebels were killed in the west of Aleppo - the largest city in Syria and the frontline in battles between the Assad regime, the Islamic State, Western-backed rebel groups and the Al Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front. The latter group are believed to have carried out yesterday's attack targeting air force intelligence offices, in which they used a tunnel to detonate bombs, creating an explosion so huge that the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre mistook it for an earthquake. Scroll down for video . Attack: The citadel (background) in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo was where 34 people were killed yesterday when Al Qaeda-backed rebels set off a powerful tunnel explosion targeting an intelligence HQ .

Watching the destruction: Members of Syrian opposition forces are seen hiding behind rubble after they blow up the tunnel beneath the Syrian Air Intelligence Directorate's Aleppo branch . Yesterday's attack came just days after the opposition rejected a UN ceasefire plan for the city and as President Bashar al-Assad insisted he continues to enjoy the support of the Syrian people despite nearly four years of war and international pressure on his regime. 'The goal was to storm the building and to control it, but they failed,' Rami Abdel Rahman, the director of UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group . Six civilians were also killed in separate rebel shelling of regime-controlled areas, he said. The attack began with a huge blast from explosives in a tunnel near the intelligence building, the Observatory and a Syrian military source said. 'Gunmen blew up a tunnel that they dug (into the regime-controlled sector) and then attacked the area surrounding the air force intelligence headquarters,' the military source said. Journalists in eastern Aleppo said the blast was heard across the city. It later emerged that the explosion was so huge that it measured 2.3 on the Richter scale and was registered as an earthquake by the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre.

Rebels from several factions then launched on assault on the building, part of which had collapsed from the explosion, said the Observatory, which relies on a network of sources inside Syria. The rebels faced heavy resistance from government troops supported by fighters from Lebanese Shiite militant group Hezbollah, a key backer of Assad, it said. The assault was repelled with the help of regime air strikes on rebel positions and the clashes eventually subsided. 'Dozens of (rebel) gunmen were killed in artillery and air strikes. The situation is quiet now in the area. There are minor sporadic clashes,' the Syrian military source said. Al-Qaeda's affiliate in Syria, Nusra Front, said on Twitter that its forces, along with other rebel factions, had 'stormed the air force intelligence offices and surrounding buildings'. The attack was the worst reported violence in Aleppo since the rebels rejected a UN plan to freeze fighting in the northern city on Sunday. UN envoy Staffan de Mistura has made the plan for a temporary ceasefire in Aleppo the centrepiece of his efforts to bring any kind of halt to the conflict in Syria, where more than 220,000 people have been killed since it erupted in March 2011.

He held talks in Damascus on Saturday to try to finalise a deal, with a delegation member saying he hoped to set in motion as soon as possible a plan to halt fighting in Aleppo for six weeks. But rebel representatives refused to consider the proposal unless it forms the basis for a 'comprehensive solution' to the conflict through the departure of Assad. De Mistura has angered the opposition by describing Assad as 'part of the solution' to the Syrian conflict. Some Western powers have also cast doubt on the plan, with the French ambassador to the United Nations, Francois Delattre, saying Tuesday that 'France remains sceptical about the regime's willingness' to follow through on it.

Fighting in Aleppo erupted in mid-2012, and control of the city -- once Syria's commercial hub -- has since been divided between rebels on the eastern side and the regime in the west. The air force intelligence headquarters in Aleppo is a key strategic site for regime forces and the surrounding area has come under repeated attack from rebel forces.

A deadly Al Qaeda-linked terror attack on a Syrian regime intelligence headquarters yesterday was so massive it measured 2.3 on the Richter scale and registered as an earthquake. At least 20 regime security force members and 14 rebels were killed in the west of Aleppo - the largest city in Syria and the frontline in battles between the Assad regime, the Islamic State, Western-backed rebel groups and the Al Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front. The latter group are believed to have carried out yesterday's attack targeting air force intelligence offices, in which they used a tunnel to detonate bombs, creating an explosion so huge that the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre mistook it for an earthquake.

Attack: The citadel (background) in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo was where 34 people were killed yesterday when Al Qaeda-backed rebels set off a powerful tunnel explosion targeting an intelligence HQ .

Watching the destruction: Members of Syrian opposition forces are seen hiding behind rubble after they blow up the tunnel beneath the Syrian Air Intelligence Directorate's Aleppo branch . Yesterday's attack came just days after the opposition rejected a UN ceasefire plan for the city and as President Bashar al-Assad insisted he continues to enjoy the support of the Syrian people despite nearly four years of war and international pressure on his regime. 'The goal was to storm the building and to control it, but they failed,' Rami Abdel Rahman, the director of UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group . Six civilians were also killed in separate rebel shelling of regime-controlled areas, he said. The attack began with a huge blast from explosives in a tunnel near the intelligence building, the Observatory and a Syrian military source said. 'Gunmen blew up a tunnel that they dug (into the regime-controlled sector) and then attacked the area surrounding the air force intelligence headquarters,' the military source said. Journalists in eastern Aleppo said the blast was heard across the city. It later emerged that the explosion was so huge that it measured 2.3 on the Richter scale and was registered as an earthquake by the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre.

Carnage: The Syrian Air Intelligence Directorate's Aleppo branch is seen going up in smoke after the attack . Rebels from several factions then launched on assault on the building, part of which had collapsed from the explosion, said the Observatory, which relies on a network of sources inside Syria. The rebels faced heavy resistance from government troops supported by fighters from Lebanese Shiite militant group Hezbollah, a key backer of Assad, it said. The assault was repelled with the help of regime air strikes on rebel positions and the clashes eventually subsided. 'Dozens of (rebel) gunmen were killed in artillery and air strikes. The situation is quiet now in the area. There are minor sporadic clashes,' the Syrian military source said. Al-Qaeda's affiliate in Syria, Nusra Front, said on Twitter that its forces, along with other rebel factions, had 'stormed the air force intelligence offices and surrounding buildings'. The attack was the worst reported violence in Aleppo since the rebels rejected a UN plan to freeze fighting in the northern city on Sunday. UN envoy Staffan de Mistura has made the plan for a temporary ceasefire in Aleppo the centrepiece of his efforts to bring any kind of halt to the conflict in Syria, where more than 220,000 people have been killed since it erupted in March 2011.

Warzone: Once Syria's commercial hub, Aleppo has been devastated by fighting that began in mid-2012, and the city is now split between loyalist forces and rebels . De Mistura in October unveiled the proposal to suspend fighting in Aleppo to allow humanitarian aid deliveries and make a first step towards a broader political deal. He held talks in Damascus on Saturday to try to finalise a deal, with a delegation member saying he hoped to set in motion as soon as possible a plan to halt fighting in Aleppo for six weeks. But rebel representatives refused to consider the proposal unless it forms the basis for a 'comprehensive solution' to the conflict through the departure of Assad. De Mistura has angered the opposition by describing Assad as 'part of the solution' to the Syrian conflict. Some Western powers have also cast doubt on the plan, with the French ambassador to the United Nations, Francois Delattre, saying Tuesday that 'France remains sceptical about the regime's willingness' to follow through on it.

Assad yesterday told Portuguese broadcaster RTP that the image of him presented in the West was deeply skewed. 'The people are against him, the regional countries are against him and the West is against him, and (still) he succeeded,' Assad said, speaking in English. 'You're either lying to us or you're talking about Superman because if you don't have Superman, (if) he's a regular president, it means he could withstand four years only because he has the public support.'

Life in the fast lane: B2C's Nick Sayer on a £17,000 Harley-Davidson . The data Del Boy . Posing on a £17,000 Harley-Davidson, Nick Sayer soaks up the winter sun outside his holiday home in Florida. It is one of several shots of motorbikes, supercars and lavish holidays he has posted online in recent years…to the delight of his friends. For while pensioners are targeted every day by cold callers, the man who sold their personal data is apparently relishing the spoils. B2C director Sayer – who is nicknamed Del Boy – is among a group of bosses at the firm who have got rich quick by selling people’s most personal information. The 45-year-old father-of-two says he carries out his business from a ‘man cave’ in the garden of his home in Kent. He began his working life as a diver on oil rigs in Azerbaijan, before, he claims, he was set up in business by a Greek shipping billionaire. They ran a commercial diving company before he decided to make money for himself by selling personal data with a series of companies, most of which have been dissolved or liquidated. ‘For years I was called “oh, you’re just a Del Boy”,’ he said. ‘I work from home, I’ve got a little log cabin thing out in me garden, that’s where I kind of base me-self. ‘I don’t like being in the house, I just go out there. It’s a bit of a man cave really.’ While his garden office may be modest, Sayer’s other tastes are much more ostentatious. His Facebook page shows off images of nine sports cars as well as pictures of him skiing in Banff, Canada. Scroll down for video . The British-built TVR Tuscan Speed Six sports car which he pictures on a drive on his profile costs up to £50,000 and boasts a top speed of 180mph. The Harley-Davidson Road King motorbike he is seen on in one image costs £17,595 new. Sayer regularly holidays with his family at his villa in Kissimmee, Florida, which they rent out for £600 a week. The home has a games room, swimming pool and spa, five bedrooms and four bathrooms, all ‘fitted with luxury furnishings’. B2C director Sayer – who is nicknamed Del Boy and owns a five-bedroom holiday home in Florida (pictured) – is among a group of bosses at the firm who have got rich quick by selling people’s most personal information . Luxury: Sayer's Flordia home has a games room, swimming pool and spa, five bedrooms and four bathrooms . The fake cash fraudster . Also trading in people’s personal information for B2C is convicted fraudster Gary Doran, 36, who wanted the Mail’s undercover team to pay Sayer off the books. The Mancunian, who now lives in Marbella, was jailed for six months for fraud in 2004 for trying to use two fake £10 notes to buy vodka. A 23-year-old student at Manchester Metropolitan University at the time, he tried to buy drink with the fake money at the Queen of Hearts pub in Fallowfield. The barmaid rejected the notes and the police were called, later finding him with 15 other fake bank notes. After serving time in jail, he has since run several failing businesses with his father and brother from their family home in Manchester. Most recently, as sales director of B2C Data, he asked an undercover reporter from the Mail to buy data off the books as a ‘favour to a friend’. He wanted the money to be paid directly into Sayer’s personal account, as a way of avoiding tax. Sporting life: The 180mph British-built TVR Tuscan Speed Six sports car on the Sayer's Facebook page . Jet-setting boss who said he knew nothing . B2C owner Stephen Hogg insists his firm ‘do everything completely, totally and utterly by the book’. The jet-setting golfer was, however, completely oblivious to his staff offering to sell data tax free through their own accounts. He even had no idea Doran had previously served time for fraud. The 46-year-old lives with his wife Sarah, 43, and their children in a £400,000 five-bedroom house in Rushden, Northamptonshire. Last week, there were three cars on the driveway outside the large home in a secluded cul-de-sac. Hogg appears to have spent much of the past month playing golf at clubs across Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire. He and his wife also go online to boast of their holidays to Portugal and Australia. ‘Holidays, bar, golf and no diet!, he wrote during one of his travels. The couple, who have two children, started B2C Data just three months after his previous data company Unique Prospects was dissolved. He said he has also shut another firm down in the past after ‘certain allegations’, before insisting ‘that wasn’t my company by the way’. When approached by the Mail about B2C’s activities, Hogg said: ‘We are a member of the ICO [Information Commissioner’s Office], and DMA [Direct Marketing Association]. We do everything correctly.’ When told his employees had offered to sell his company’s data off the books and that Doran is a convicted fraudster, he added: ‘You’ve just made me aware of two things that I need to go and talk to people about.’ He described B2C Data as ‘a legitimate business’ working within the law. Cold callers use a wide range of tricks to obtain people's personal data (picture posed by model) Will writing: Pensioners are often targeted by callers who offer will writing advice on the cheap. This is often a ploy to gain your trust and access as many personal details – including about your finances – as possible. The firms then try to sell high risk investments as ‘add-ons’. Charity surveys: A homeowner is called and asked to complete a survey for charity. They are told if they answer a certain number of questions, a pre-selected charity will be paid £10 or so – so many kind-hearted people naturally agree. However, all the answers are collated and sold on. ‘Validating’ your details: Marketing firms will call customers of a major brand and claim they need to ‘validate’ the details they hold. After asking the customer to confirm their name, address and phone number, however, many will go on to try to get you to complete a ‘lifestyle survey’. These questions are, in fact, sponsored by various other companies and details are sold on. Soft questions: Watch out for surveys starting with ‘easy’ questions. One firm admitted it starts surveys with questions anyone would answer – like do you have a television? Only later do the questions become more intrusive – about your earnings and the worth of your home. Computer updates: Scammers try to hack into PCs by pretending to be from Microsoft. Following their ‘updating’ instructions can allow them to take control of the computer remotely and capture personal data. No call lists: The telephone preference list, which should block cold callers, is a free service. Some firms will, however, try to charge you as much as £1.60 a month. Shares: With your financial details on file, some cold calling firms are able to see which companies you have shares in. As a result, scammers can pretend to be calling from the companies you have invested in and try to convince the homeowner to pass on more financial details. Prizes: Once they have your details, scammers are able to send you misleading letters saying you have won large cash prizes. There are often hidden costs in claiming this supposed prize, like making you call premium rate phone numbers.

Life in the fast lane: B2C's Nick Sayer on a £17,000 Harley-Davidson . The data Del Boy . Posing on a £17,000 Harley-Davidson, Nick Sayer soaks up the winter sun outside his holiday home in Florida. It is one of several shots of motorbikes, supercars and lavish holidays he has posted online in recent years…to the delight of his friends. For while pensioners are targeted every day by cold callers, the man who sold their personal data is apparently relishing the spoils. B2C director Sayer – who is nicknamed Del Boy – is among a group of bosses at the firm who have got rich quick by selling people’s most personal information. The 45-year-old father-of-two says he carries out his business from a ‘man cave’ in the garden of his home in Kent. He began his working life as a diver on oil rigs in Azerbaijan, before, he claims, he was set up in business by a Greek shipping billionaire. They ran a commercial diving company before he decided to make money for himself by selling personal data with a series of companies, most of which have been dissolved or liquidated. ‘For years I was called “oh, you’re just a Del Boy”,’ he said. ‘I work from home, I’ve got a little log cabin thing out in me garden, that’s where I kind of base me-self. ‘I don’t like being in the house, I just go out there. It’s a bit of a man cave really.’ While his garden office may be modest, Sayer’s other tastes are much more ostentatious. His Facebook page shows off images of nine sports cars as well as pictures of him skiing in Banff, Canada. Scroll down for video . The British-built TVR Tuscan Speed Six sports car which he pictures on a drive on his profile costs up to £50,000 and boasts a top speed of 180mph. The Harley-Davidson Road King motorbike he is seen on in one image costs £17,595 new. Sayer regularly holidays with his family at his villa in Kissimmee, Florida, which they rent out for £600 a week. The home has a games room, swimming pool and spa, five bedrooms and four bathrooms, all ‘fitted with luxury furnishings’.

Life in the fast lane: B2C's Nick Sayer on a £17,000 Harley-Davidson . The data Del Boy . Posing on a £17,000 Harley-Davidson, Nick Sayer soaks up the winter sun outside his holiday home in Florida. It is one of several shots of motorbikes, supercars and lavish holidays he has posted online in recent years…to the delight of his friends. For while pensioners are targeted every day by cold callers, the man who sold their personal data is apparently relishing the spoils. B2C director Sayer – who is nicknamed Del Boy – is among a group of bosses at the firm who have got rich quick by selling people’s most personal information. The 45-year-old father-of-two says he carries out his business from a ‘man cave’ in the garden of his home in Kent. He began his working life as a diver on oil rigs in Azerbaijan, before, he claims, he was set up in business by a Greek shipping billionaire. They ran a commercial diving company before he decided to make money for himself by selling personal data with a series of companies, most of which have been dissolved or liquidated. ‘For years I was called “oh, you’re just a Del Boy”,’ he said. ‘I work from home, I’ve got a little log cabin thing out in me garden, that’s where I kind of base me-self. ‘I don’t like being in the house, I just go out there. It’s a bit of a man cave really.’ While his garden office may be modest, Sayer’s other tastes are much more ostentatious. His Facebook page shows off images of nine sports cars as well as pictures of him skiing in Banff, Canada. Scroll down for video . The British-built TVR Tuscan Speed Six sports car which he pictures on a drive on his profile costs up to £50,000 and boasts a top speed of 180mph. The Harley-Davidson Road King motorbike he is seen on in one image costs £17,595 new. Sayer regularly holidays with his family at his villa in Kissimmee, Florida, which they rent out for £600 a week. The home has a games room, swimming pool and spa, five bedrooms and four bathrooms, all ‘fitted with luxury furnishings’. B2C director Sayer – who is nicknamed Del Boy and owns a five-bedroom holiday home in Florida (pictured) – is among a group of bosses at the firm who have got rich quick by selling people’s most personal information . Luxury: Sayer's Flordia home has a games room, swimming pool and spa, five bedrooms and four bathrooms . The fake cash fraudster . Also trading in people’s personal information for B2C is convicted fraudster Gary Doran, 36, who wanted the Mail’s undercover team to pay Sayer off the books. The Mancunian, who now lives in Marbella, was jailed for six months for fraud in 2004 for trying to use two fake £10 notes to buy vodka. A 23-year-old student at Manchester Metropolitan University at the time, he tried to buy drink with the fake money at the Queen of Hearts pub in Fallowfield. The barmaid rejected the notes and the police were called, later finding him with 15 other fake bank notes. After serving time in jail, he has since run several failing businesses with his father and brother from their family home in Manchester. Most recently, as sales director of B2C Data, he asked an undercover reporter from the Mail to buy data off the books as a ‘favour to a friend’. He wanted the money to be paid directly into Sayer’s personal account, as a way of avoiding tax. Sporting life: The 180mph British-built TVR Tuscan Speed Six sports car on the Sayer's Facebook page . Jet-setting boss who said he knew nothing . B2C owner Stephen Hogg insists his firm ‘do everything completely, totally and utterly by the book’. The jet-setting golfer was, however, completely oblivious to his staff offering to sell data tax free through their own accounts. He even had no idea Doran had previously served time for fraud. The 46-year-old lives with his wife Sarah, 43, and their children in a £400,000 five-bedroom house in Rushden, Northamptonshire. Last week, there were three cars on the driveway outside the large home in a secluded cul-de-sac. Hogg appears to have spent much of the past month playing golf at clubs across Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire. He and his wife also go online to boast of their holidays to Portugal and Australia. ‘Holidays, bar, golf and no diet!, he wrote during one of his travels. The couple, who have two children, started B2C Data just three months after his previous data company Unique Prospects was dissolved. He said he has also shut another firm down in the past after ‘certain allegations’, before insisting ‘that wasn’t my company by the way’. When approached by the Mail about B2C’s activities, Hogg said: ‘We are a member of the ICO [Information Commissioner’s Office], and DMA [Direct Marketing Association]. We do everything correctly.’ When told his employees had offered to sell his company’s data off the books and that Doran is a convicted fraudster, he added: ‘You’ve just made me aware of two things that I need to go and talk to people about.’ He described B2C Data as ‘a legitimate business’ working within the law.
