BREAKING NEWS:Syrian prime minister sacked from office

Syrian Prime, Minister Riyad Hijab has been sacked, just two months after his appointment, Syrian television reported on Monday. 
The director of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Rami Abdel Rahman, disclosed that Hijab had fled Syria. 
President Bashar al-Assad appointed Hijab, a former agriculture minister, as prime minister in June following a parliamentary election in May which authorities said was a step towards political reform but which opponents dismissed as a sham.
