Syria's internet back amid strife
The internet in Syria is now working, say residents, as fighting between government and rebel fighters continues around Damascus.
Syrian opposition close to appointing transition PM
Syria's new opposition coalition have edged closer towards choosing a prime minister to lead a transitional government.
Former Prime Minister Riad Hijab is the strongest candidate for the job, delegates said after three days of talks in Cairo that furthered the dominance of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Mr Hijab, who has the backing of Jordan and Gulf states, was a longtime loyalist in President Assad's Baath Party before defecting in August.
Coalition insiders said he is likely to be chosen before or during a gathering in mid-December of the Friends of Syria.
