Four brigadier-generals have defected from the Syrian army and joined the rebels fighting the regime of President Bashar Assad, Reuters reports citing Lieutenant Khaled al-Hamoud, a spokesman for the Free Syrian Army. The latest defections bring the number of high-ranking officers who have deserted to the opposition to seven. \"We have six brigadier generals who are now in Turkey and another who has stayed to lead some battalions inside Syria,\" Hamoud said. \"We plan to form an advisory council to absorb these and any other high-ranking defections and this group will plan operations for the FSA.\"
