Syria's interior minister reports 'very strong' security cordon around Damascus: State TV

Syria's interior minister told state TV that security forces had imposed an impenetrable cordon around Damascus on Saturday, as fighters opposing the government said they were nearing the capital.

"There is a very strong security and military cordon on the far edges of Damascus and its countryside, and no one ... can penetrate this defensive line that we, the armed forces, are building," Interior Minister Mohammed al-Rahmoun told state TV from Damascus.
