Syrian troops secure three more towns in Qalamoun
2014-04-16
[Iran Press TV] The Syrian army has made more gains in its fight against foreign-backed turbans in the country, and defeated them in three towns in the strategic Qalamoun region, Press TV reports.

Syrian troops on Tuesday carried out successful operations against the turbans in the towns of Assal al-Ward, Housh Arab and Jab'adin.

The citizens in Jab'adin welcomed the Syrian soldiers by chanting slogans in their support and waving national flags.

"Militants kidnapped many of the town's residents, they only set them free if they received ransom money. They also fired mortars at us. We thank the Syrian army for restoring security," one of the residents of Jaba'deen told Press TV.

Meanwhile,
...back at the chili cook-off, Chuck and Manuel's rivalry was entering a new and more dangerous phase...
reports said that the foreign-sponsored turbans tried to run away after Syrian troops managed to retake full control of the towns of Ma'loula and al-Sarkha in the Qalamoun region on Monday. However,
some people cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go...
they were chased down and defeated by government forces.

Syrian army units also killed many turbans and destroyed their hideouts in the towns of Bakha'a and al-Jibbeh in the region on Monday.
