President Bashar al-Assad of Syria plans to attend a gathering of Arab leaders on Friday for the first time since he violently suppressed an anti-government uprising that morphed into a civil war, torturing and using chemical weapons on his own people.Syria's membership in the Arab League, suspended since 2011, was restored this month ahead of the leaders' summit in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
