The Syrian National Coalition has named veteran dissident George Sabra as caretaker leader of the main opposition grouping, following the resignation of Ahmed Moaz al-Khatib.
At a press conference in Istanbul following his designation as interim opposition leader, Sabra denounced the Assad regime for the recent massacre outside of Damascus.
"It is beyond description and more barbarian than horror movies," Sabra said, referring to the killing of 80 people, including women and children, in the town of Jdeydet al-Fadel.
