Austria suspends Syrian asylum applications, prepares 'deportation': Interior ministry says

Austria on Monday said it was suspending all Syrian asylum applications and wanted to deport refugees back to Syria, a day after Islamist-led rebels swept into Damascus, ending ousted president Bashar al-Assad's brutal rule.

"From now on, open (asylum) proceedings of Syrian citizens will be stopped," the interior ministry said in a statement, adding instructions are to "prepare an orderly repatriation and deportation program to Syria."
