Qatar embassy reopens in Damascus with flag raising: AFP

Qatar reopened its embassy in Damascus on Saturday, 13 years after it was shut early in Syria's civil conflict, as foreign governments seek to establish ties with the country's new rulers.

An AFP journalist saw Qatar's flag raised over the mission, making it the second country, after Turkey, to officially reopen its embassy since Islamist-led rebels drove President Bashar al-Assad from power earlier this month.
