Syrian General Slain by Sniper
[Reuters/Washington Post] Khaled Yacoub Oweis - Syrian Brig.-Gen. Mohammad Suleiman, 49, a confidant of President Bashar al-Assad, was shot in the head by a sniper and killed on Saturday at his seaside villa near the port city of Tartous. Israeli media said Suleiman was a key figure in a nuclear program that the U.S. accused Syria of pursuing after Israel raided a site in eastern Syria last year.
