シリア首相、アサド政権から離反

Syrian prime minister joins rebel side
Syria's prime minister defected Aug. 6, evidence that the widening cracks in president Bashar Assad's regime have reached the highest echelons of government. Riad Hijab is the highest-level political figure to switch sides and is certain to encourage rebels after a string of military and diplomatic figures have abandoned the regime. A Jordanian official said he fled to Jordan.
The Syrian regime has suffered a series of significant setbacks over the past month that point to a loosening of its grip on the country.
Four of the president's top security aides were killed in a rebel bombing of state security headquarters in the capital Damascus on July 18, including the defense minister and Assad's brother-in-law. There has been a steady stream of high-level defections, from diplomats to generals. The regime has been unable to fully subdue rebel challenges in the two major cities, Damascus and Aleppo. (AP)
