Syrian planes ‘bomb rebels in Raqqa’

Syrian warplanes have bombed the northern city of Raqqa, hours after reports said rebels had overrun it, activists and residents say.

Activists said at least 20 rebels and civilians were killed in air strikes and in fresh fighting there with government troops.

Rebels captured the provincial governor when they routed regime forces in the city on Monday.

If the city falls it would mark a significant victory for the rebels.
