IS regains full control of Syria border town Albu Kamal

Regime forces and allied militia are now between one to two kilometres from the city limits

The Islamic State group fully recaptured the Syrian border town of Albu Kamal on Saturday, a monitor said, after a tough fightback for its last urban bastion against pro-regime forces.

"IS fully recaptured Albu Kamal, and regime forces and allied militia are now between one to two kilometres from the city limits," said Rami Abdel Rahman, head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
