Diplomats: US studying Syria no-fly zone near Jordan border

The United States is considering setting up a limited no-fly zone in Syria, possibly close to the southern border with Jordan, two senior Western diplomats in Turkey said on Friday.

"Washington is considering a no-fly zone to help (President Bashar) al-Assad's opponents," one diplomat said. He said it would be limited "time-wise and area-wise", without giving details. (Reuters)
