| BEIRUT -- Syrian activists say more than 630 people have been killed and at least 130,000 have been displaced in more than a month of rebel infighting in an eastern province near the Iraqi border.! The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says 39 civilians are among the 634 people killed in Deir el-Zour province since April 30. The fighting is between Islamic rebel battalions and the al-Qaeda breakaway group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The Observatory said Tuesday the tally includes 354 rebel fighters, including many from the al-Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front, and 241 gunmen from the Islamic State. Islamic rebels and more moderate factions have been locked in a brutal fight against the Islamic State across opposition-held northern Syria since early January. |
