Syria's most prominent defector said in an interview that aired Monday that he opposes any foreign military intervention in the country's civil war and that he is confident the opposition can topple President Bashar al-Assad's regime.

He called on outside powers to give the opposition "all the aid and support" needed to topple Assad.
