Syrian Troops Forced Out of Mountain Town
(CNN) Samira Said - Syrian activists say opposition forces have wrested control of the town of Zabadani from government troops. "There were massive protests in Zabadani, so the Syrian Army tried to disperse them. But our troops were very organized and aggressive with a counter attack that left them fleeing and they withdrew completely out of the city," said Lt. Col. Mohamed Hamdo of the Free Syrian Army (FSA). Syrian government forces still ringed the town and were shelling it from outside.
