Al-Qaeda fighters take over the Bab Al-Hawa باب الهوى border point. Notice the black flag of Jabhat Al-Nusra, the Al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria. Agence France Presse cited one of its photographers at the Bab al-Hawa crossing point as saying that "a group of around 150 fighters from several Islamic countries are positioned in the crossing" and pointed out that several of them declared "they belong to the Taliban shura while others said they belong to Al-Qaeda."
