ERBIL-Hewlêr,
Kurdistan region 'Iraq',— Syrian opposition fighters
will not withdraw from Aleppo, the northern city
which has been under attack by regime forces, the
head of the opposition Syrian National Council said
on Friday.
“The Free (Syrian) Army did not withdraw, and will
not withdraw from Aleppo, and we are in contact with
them to provide them with supplies,” Abdul Basset
Seyda told a news conference in Erbil, capital of
Iraq’s autonomous Kurdistan region.
Seyda was on a visit to Iraqi Kurdistan for
meetings with
Syrian Kurdish leaders and Kurdistan president,
Massoud Barzani.
Meanwhile, Syrian rebels seized a security
headquarters in the oil-producing province of Deir
Ezzor on Friday, killing 13 security personnel in
battles to control a major highway leading to Iraq,
a rebel spokesman said.
President Bashar al-Assad’s forces have lost control
over large swathes of Deir Ezzor in the last two
months, but troops still surround the provincial
capital, pounding the city with artillery and from
the air.
On Friday evening, the rebels stormed a complex for
political security and other buildings near the town
of al-Mayadeen, halfway between the provincial
capital and the border with Iraq, said Omar Abu
Laila,www.ekurd.net
a spokesman for the Eastern Military Revolt Council.
He said several security personnel had defected over
the last few days and that “13 who remained
defending the complex” had been killed.
Three intelligence agents were captured, he added.
“The fighters are now in control of the outpost,”
Abu Laila said by phone from the province. “There is
still one army outpost and an artillery position
under the control of the regime near Mayadeen.”
Another rebel source said the rebels were trying to
cut off the army’s highway supply line to the town
of Albu Kamal on the border with Iraq. Opposition
fighters briefly took over a crossing point last
month but withdrew when the Iraqi authorities closed
the border from their side.
Deir Ezzor is a tribal Sunni Muslim region on the
Eurphrates river that cuts through the country’s
eastern desert.
An alliance forged by Assad’s father, the late
President Hafez al-Assad, and Deir Ezzor tribes
disintegrated when Assad sent tanks a year ago into
urban areas of the province to put down
pro-democracy demonstrations.
