The Coming Crisis: Syrian rebels report capture of provincial capital

The Coming Crisis Welcome to Humanity's    ...Final Performance...

Syrian rebels report capture of provincial capital Mar 5th 2013, 05:03 Syrian opposition fighters captured the northeastern city of Raqqa on Monday and crowds toppled a statue of President Bashar al-Assad's father, opposition sources and residents said. The fall of Raqqa on the Euphrates River would be a significant development in the two-year-old revolt against Assad. The rebels do not claim to hold any other provincial capitals. Rebel fighters said loyalist forces were still dug in at the provincial airport 60 km (40 miles) from Raqqa and they remained a threat. A resident said that a Syrian military intelligence compound in the town was not in rebel hands but was surrounded by anti-Assad fighters. http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/03/04/us-syria-crisis-idUSBRE9230S620130304
