Control-El-Bucemal checkpoint on the Syrian-Iraqi border is again open for passenger and trading transport. This is reported by the official Syrian agency Sana.
According to the agency, the checkpoint began to function for the first time since the overthrow of the BAAS party regime.
El-Bucemal is located between the Syrian province of Deir Ez-Zor and the Iraqi province of Anbar and is considered one of the key land arteries between Damascus and Baghdad.
