Another Syrian general defects to Turkey: report

Istanbul. Another general has fled Syria and joined rebels camped in southeastern Turkey with plans to confront the Damascus regime, the Anatolia news agency reported Saturday, cited by AFP.

His identity was not disclosed for security reasons.

The defection brought to 10 the number of #generals seeking refuge in Turkey since the revolt against the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime erupted 16 months ago.

The general crossed into Turkey with his family and was taken to Apaydin camp, a defectors' settlement in Hatay province, some four kilometres (two and a half miles) from the border with Syria.
