Syrian Rebels Take Border Crossings

Syrian rebels have seized border crossings along the Turkish and Iraqi borders.

Members of the Free Syrian Army forced their way into, and took the outposts over.

So far they've only taken two of the border points with Turkey, but others are under assault.

Along the border with Iraq they have reportedly taken every single one.

Iraqi troops have confirmed that several of the border crossing now fly the flag of the Free Syrian Army, rather than the national flag.
