SANLIURFA
Rebels fighting the Assad regime seized control of a corder crossing on the Turkish frontier and customs building after intense fire fight on Tuesday with pro-Assad forces.
An Anadolu Agency team videotaped rebels as they pulled down the Syrian flag and posters of the Syrian president and hoisted a three-star flag in red, white and green stripes that represented the Free Syrian Army, of FSA, that fights an 18-month-old war to topple the country's autocratic regime.
Bodies of death Syrian army troops were visible at the scene of the fighting with their personal belongings as well as shattered glass and empty bullet casings scattered all over the site.
Rebels with the al Farouq battalion who seized the border gate vowed to take control of the entire country.
