Syria's main opposition has elected a new interim prime minister: He's Ghassan Hitto, a naturalized U.S. citizen who until recently lived in Texas.
Here's more from The New York Times:
"After a prolonged day of maneuvering and voting on Monday that lasted into the early-morning hours, representatives of the opposition coalition, meeting in Istanbul, chose Ghassan Hitto, 50, a former information technology executive, who emigrated from Syria many years ago and until recently had lived in Texas. Mr. Hitto was heavily involved in volunteer efforts to help Syrians whose lives had been upended by the uprising against Mr. Assad."
