Syrian opposition meets to boost protests

None

About 200 Syrian opposition members have met outside the capital, Damascus, in a significant gathering of dissidents on Syrian soil.

 

The Syrian opposition consists of a variety of groups with often differing ideologies, including Islamists and secularists, and there have been many meetings of dissidents who say they represent the opposition. But Saturday's meeting was unusual in part because it was held inside Syria, rather than neighboring countries. (AP)
