| Syrian opposition fighters took over a Turkish border crossing on Thursday, seizing control of the customs and immigration buildings on the Syrian side of the northern frontier, a opposition fighter and a spokesman said. |
They said they overran the Bab al-Hawa gate, which the opposition fighters have tried to seize several times in the last 10 days, after a confrontation with soldiers loyal to President Bashar al-Assad. Bab al-Hawa is a vital commercial crossing. |
