Rebel fighters fire rockets to disrupt Syrian elections
Rebel fighters have fired Grad rockets towards forces loyal to Syria's President Bashar al-Assad stationed at the entrance of the coastal city of Lataqia, according to Reuters.
The rebels told the news agency they were attempting to disrupt today's presidential elections, which are widely expected to see President Bashar al-Assad secure a third seven-year term.
