Rebels 'killed in Syria army ambush'

At least 62 rebel fighters have been killed in an ambush by the Syrian army, a monitoring group says. The rebels were killed in a dawn ambush near the town of Adra, east of Damascus, the pro-opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

"At least 62 rebels fell as martyrs, most of them youths," the group said. The state news agency Sana did not give a death toll for the ambush but said the rebels were from the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front. Sana said the rebels' machineguns and rocket-propelled grenades were confiscated.
