Syria's Assad orders 50% raise in career soldiers' pay

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad ordered a 50 percent raise in career soldiers' pay in a decree issued Wednesday as the army presses a counteroffensive against Islamist-led rebels.

The decree, which was published by the official SANA news agency, made clear that the raise applies only to soldiers on active duty, not to reservists or veterans.
