Syria: Northern Storm Brigade rebels and Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) reach cease-fire near Turkish border
Al-Qaeda-linked fighters and a rival Syrian rebel group declared a truce on Friday after two days of clashes near the Turkish frontier in which the militant Islamists overran a border town, rebels said.
Fighters from an al-Qaeda affiliate, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), on Wednesday killed at least five members of the Northern Storm Brigade, a rebel group that controls the border.
Clashes continued on Thursday, highlighting deep divisions in the opposition that is fighting to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad in Syria’s 2-1/2-year-old civil war.
