| [An Nahar] The army opened fire on Sunday at a vehicle in the outskirts of Arsal after it refused to comply with the orders of the checkpoint, the state-run National News Agency reported. According to NNA, an army checkpoint in al-Reyan valley on the outskirts of the eastern border town shot up the pick-up truck after people in it refused to follow their requests. The news agency said that the pick-up was hit with several shots. Later on Sunday, the army tossed in the slammer ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... a group of Syrians who had arms and ammunition in their possession in the Arsal region, according to NNA. They were referred to the relevant judicial authorities, NNA said. It was not immediately clear whether the agency was referring to the same incident. Syrian troops had seized on Sunday full control of the rebel bastion Yabrud in the strategic Qalamun region near the Lebanese border. Media reports said that gunnies from Yabrud fled into neighboring Leb, in particular the town of Arsal. |
