Syrian businessmen living abroad have created a $300m fund to support rebels fighting forces of President Bashar al-Assad, opposition activists announced.

"This fund has been established to support all components of the revolution in Syria, and to establish a strong relationship with businessmen inside and outside Syria and to protect civilians," Wael Merza, secretary-general of the opposition Syrian National Council (SNC), said on Wednesday in the Qatari capital, Doha.

Merza said that half of the $300m had already been spent, some of which were contributions to the rebel Free Syrian Army.
