Syria Video Special: On the Ground with the Free Syrian Army
France 24 reporters Adel Gastel and Karim Hakiki were able to get into the town of Binnish in northwest Syria. In the video above, they speak to members of the Free Syrian Army, who said they had succeeded in driving out heavily-armed regime snipers.
And then there is this interview with a captain in the Khaled bin AlWaleed Brigade in Homs. He describes a major battle in the Bab al Dreib district, and claims that the Free Syrian Army soldiers captured a BMP vehicle, destroyed a T-72 tank and a BRDM recon vehicle, and will continue the fight tomorrow. He also reported the formation of a new brigade, "The Grandchildren of Khaled bin AlWaleed."
