Thousands of Syrians converged on a landmark Damascus mosque for Friday prayers, waving opposition flags and chanting -- a sight unimaginable just days ago before rebels ousted president Bashar al-Assad.
At the capital's famed Umayyad Mosque, men, women and children gathered to celebrate on the first Friday prayers since Assad's ouster, later streaming into the city streets and squares.
