Correction or apology (to readers): the new Syrian prime minister

I received information from Damascus that the new Syrian prime minister is NOT brother-in-law of Maher Al-Asad.  Maher Al-Asad's wife has one sister (Majd Jad`an) and she lives in the US and has supported the Syrian opposition.  The only brother-in-law for Maher is Muhammad Al-Husayn, the ex-finance minister and deputy prime minister.
