Militants have seized the Al-Waleed border post between Iraq and #syria, officers said on Monday, meaning that all crossings between the neighboring countries are now outside government control. The militants took the crossing on Sunday, a colonel and a captain in the border guards said. Security forces that had been guarding it headed south to join troops at another crossing with Jordan, they said. Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s security spokesman, Lieutenant General Qassem Atta, was later quoted by state television as saying that government forces had retaken Al-Waleed. read more
