US Secretary of State John Kerry has said that the US and its allies will expand their support to the Syrian opposition. Kerry’s comments come after a US general said the Syrian rebels do not have the means to defeat President Assad.

US Secretary of State John Kerry who was meeting British Foreign Minster William Hague in London said the US and its allies had agreed to increase their support to the Syrian opposition but did not specify if he meant arming them.

Kerry said he was open to increasing aid to Syria but said that no decision has been made on changing the general US aid strategy to Syria.
