Syria’s Dictator Remains Defiant

On the war front, rebels seized control of Syria's largest dam, a monitoring group said.
''Syria will remain the beating heart of the Arab world and will not give up its principles despite the intensifying pressure and diversifying plots not only targeting Syria, but all Arabs,'' Dr Assad said, quoted by the state news agency SANA.
