Syria's Western-backed opposition elects new leader

Syria's Western-backed opposition group has elected a new leader, who announced Monday that his group is not yet willing to go to peace talks in Moscow.

 

Khalid Khoja was elected president in a close vote late Sunday during a three-day meeting in Istanbul of the National Coalition.

 

The coalition is seen as separate from the military opposition fighting President Bashar al Assad but it is involved in talks with international negotiators.
