Syria

Syrian rebels, including al Qaeda-linked fighters, captured a military post near the Jordan border. The Free Syrian Army reported heavy regime shelling yesterday along the border, where some 69,000 refugees are said to be trapped. Western officials said US and Israeli intelligence agencies think that Syria’s chemical arms declaration may be incomplete, as Syria named some 30 sites but there are believed to be over 50. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant ordered schoolchildren in a village in northern Syria to wear Islamic dress. Activists demonstrated against ISIL in Raqqah.
