Syrian troops retake Rastan as clashes surge in central Syria
Syrian forces regained most of Rastan after five days of heavy fighting with army defectors joining protesters. The battle comes amid escalating protests and a crackdown that has killed thousands, with reports of 250 tanks entering Rastan and communications cut off. The town’s Sunni-majority base and the defections highlight fears of civil war in Syria.
