Syrian opposition bemoans "loose" pledges of world support

DUBAI (Reuters) - The deputy head of Syria's main opposition coalition criticised major Western and Arab states on Wednesday for not making good on promises to help it isolate President Bashar al-Assad after granting the bloc formal recognition.

The United States, France, Britain, Turkey and Gulf Arab states embraced the coalition formed in November after U.S. pressure for the creation of a bloc more representative of the opposition's diversity, including rebel forces inside Syria.
