Arab media reports on Wednesday said that the Syrian ambassador to Iraq, Nawaf Fares, defected. If confirmed this would be the first Syrian ambassador to break with the regime of Bashar al-Assad since the violence began shaking Syria some 16 months ago.
Five days ago, a senior general and close aide to the Syrian president, Manaf Tlass, had defected and took refuge in France.
