    BEIRUT, LEBANON (10:35 P.M.) – The Turkish Army arrested two Free Syrian Army (FSA) officers in the northern Aleppo town of ‘Azaz on Saturday, local activits reported via social media.

    General Sabri Al-Awad and Colonel ‘Abdullah Zeno were apprehended by the Turkish Army for refusing to raise the Turkish flag over their security base in ‘Azaz.

    The two FSA officers were also charged with refusing to promote Turkish-sponsored officers in their rebel group; this was due to the fact most of these men had little-to-no military experience.

    The Turkish Army initially transported the two FSA officers to Turkey for further questioning; however, they were later transferred to a prison in ‘Azaz.
