A young worker grinds off the sharp edges from a mortar shell that will be filled, assembled and shipped to the front lines from this location in northern Syria, on June 22, 2013. This young laborer works in an underground factory that produces munitions for one of the most powerful Free Syrian Army brigades in the area, The Ahrar Suriyah. This factory is so secret that most of the fighters have no clue that it exists.
