Syrian rebels seize military base, munitions

BASE OF THE 46TH REGIMENT, Syria (AP) ? Syrian rebels have taken over a large military base in the country's north, carting off tanks, armored vehicles and truck-loads of munitions.

Reporters from The Associated Press who visited the base late Monday saw the dead bodies of seven Syrian soldiers and rebels calmly searching buildings for booty.

Earlier Monday, AP reporters saw scores of rebels unloading trucks full of rockets, mortars, artillery shells and rifles taken from the base into a rebel headquarters near the Turkish border.

Rebel leaders say the fall of the base of the 46th Regiment on Sunday was a major victory in the fight to topple Syrian President Bashar Assad, and that the munitions captured will boost their forces in future battles.
