Syrian Opposition Leader Takes Former Gov't Seat at Arab League Summit 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
A Syrian opposition leader is calling on the United States to intervene
more directly in the conflict by using missiles to protect rebel-held
areas. Moaz al-Khatib made the comments at the Arab League summit in
Doha as he took over a seat previously held by the Syrian government.
The league had transferred the seat to the opposition Sunday. Al-Khatib
attended the summit despite announcing days ago he was quitting as head
of the Syrian National Coalition due to a lack of global action on
Syria.
