The president's men trash the Constitution to pursue antagonists
Syrian rebels firing mortars and rocket-propelled grenades captured an oilfield in the country's east on Sunday after three days of fierce fighting with government troops protecting the facility, activists said.
"This field used to supply the regime with fuel for its tanks, and our aim was to stop these supplies," Omar Abu Leila, an activist in Deir el-Zour, told The Associated Press by telephone.
He said there was heavy fighting recently near the oil facility, which is located just east of the city of Mayadin.
