Syria's deputy oil minister announced his defection in an online video that emerged on Thursday, making him the highest ranking civilian official to abandon the regime since the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad erupted a year ago.
Abdo Husameddine’s announcement came one day after the top US general said President Barack Obama has asked for a preliminary review of military options in Syria, as the conflict grows increasingly dire. The UN estimates 7,500 people have been killed.
