UK paper claims to have Syrian leader's emails
None
Thousands of emails purported to be from the private accounts of Bashar Assad and his wife show the Syrian president took advice from Iran on how to handle the uprising against his rule, joked about his promises of reform and bypassed US sanctions to shop on iTunes, the Guardian newspaper has reported.
The newspaper said Wednesday it got the trove of emails from a member of the Syrian opposition whom it does not identify. The documents are said to have been intercepted by members of the Supreme Council of the Revolution between June and early February. (AP)
