US Secretary of State John Kerry said on Tuesday he would meet members of the Syrian opposition in London later this week, adding that Washington was looking at ways to help opponents of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

"Yes, I will be meeting with the Syrian opposition in London and yes, we will be discussing various means of having an impact on President Assad's calculations about where the battlefield is going," Kerry told reporters at Tel Aviv airport. (Reuters)
