AKCAKALE, Turkey - Syrian rebels have seized control of a border crossing on the frontier with Turkey and pulled down the Syrian flag.
An Associated Press reporter at the scene Wednesday says Syrians on the Turkish side of the border are celebrating and yelling, "I am a free Syrian!" People are moving freely across the border, crawling under barbed wire.
There were fierce clashes Tuesday as rebels and regime forces fought for control of the Tal Abyad crossing.
Syria's rebels control several other border crossings into Turkey but it is believed to be the first time they have tried to take the border area in the northern province of Raqqa.
Taking control of border crossings helps the opposition ferry supplies into Syria and carve out an area of control.
