Amateur footage from Raqqa in Syria is purported to show a statue of President Bashar al-Assad's father being pulled down after rebels reportedly captured the city.
8:10AM GMT 05 Mar 2013
Syrian opposition fighters captured the northeastern city of Raqqa on Monday and crowds toppled a statue of President Bashar al-Assad's father, according to opposition sources and residents.
The fall of Raqqa on the Euphrates River would be a significant development in the two-year-old revolt against Assad. The rebels do not claim to hold any other provincial capitals.
Video footage taken by opposition activists showed youths climbing on the Hafez al-Assad statue in Raqqa's central square and tying a rope around its head.
"A crowd of hundreds braved the fighting and marched on the main square and took down the statue," said one of the residents, himself a refugee from the city of Deir al-Zor.
