Syria conflict: Key Aleppo district sees fierce clashes
"A Russian general whom rebels claimed to have killed in Syria, has turned up alive and well in Moscow. Rebels said Gen Vladimir Kuzheyev was an adviser to the Assad regime."
Somebody has messed up.
"Photographs published on Facebook appear to show that Syrian rebels have for the first time obtained a heat-seeking, shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missile launcher, the New York Times reports"
That's nice for them.
"Turkish lawyer Osman Karahan, who defended suspected al-Qaeda militants linked to four Istanbul truck bombs in 2003, has died in fighting in Aleppo, Turkish media reported."
Pity. Of course "suspected", as well as "lawyer", are important words here.
"Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy appeared to call for outside military intervention in Syria, similar to the operation he authorised in Libya while in office last year"
Former sounds good.
"Iran's foreign minister said a group of 48 Iranians abducted by rebels in Syria on Saturday included a number of retired Revolutionary Guards and soldiers but denied they played any active military role"
Am on the verge of saying, "pull the other one son, it has got bells on."
"King Abdullah of Jordan suggested Syrian President Bashar al-Assad might try to create an enclave for his Alawite Muslim sect if he loses control of the country"
And epic fail if he does.

"The defection by Syria's prime minister is the most high-profile coup yet in a well-funded programme, though unlikely to signal any imminent regime collapse." This was where I found Seamus Milne to be too biased to be worth reading. [http://www.guardian.co.uk/.../intervention-syria-descent...]
