Syrian rebels capture third border post with Turkey

Syrian rebels captured a third border crossing with Turkey from President Bashar al-Assad's forces on Sunday, rebel commanders and a Turkish official said.

A Turkish official at the border confirmed that Bab al-Salam was in rebel hands. He said the Turkish side of the border gate - which normally operates mainly for commercial traffic from Turkey to the Syria city of Aleppo - remained open but there was no traffic. (Reuters)
