Summary Here's a summary of the latest developments:

Libya

• Mauritania has extradited Muammar Gaddafi's former spy chief, Abdullah al-Senussi, to Libya. After arriving in Tripoli he was reportedly transferred to a prison by helicopter.

• The international tribunal in The Hague, where Senussi is wanted on charges of crimes against humanity, said it had no information about the extradition. Amnesty International has called on Libya hand over Senussi for trial in The Hague.

Syria

• Rebel commanders have formed a new Syrian National Army in an attempt to unite the disparate forces fighting the Assad regime. In an interview with the Guardian, Major General Muhammed Hussein al-Haj Ali, urged all units of the Free Syrian Army to sign up to the new group under his command.

• Two Arab satellite operators, NileSat and Arabsat, have said they will stop broadcasting Syrian TV channels. Syria has condemned the decision, saying it "serves the Zionist scheme".

• Rebels have released footage of the wreckage of a jet warplane and its dead pilot in Idlib province. They claimed the aircraft was shot down with machinegun fire.

• Up to 43 people killed have been killed in the latest bombardment of Aleppo, according to activists. Horrific video purporting to show women and children killed in the attacks has been circulated.

• Iraq says it is waiting for the US to provide evidence for claims that its airspace is again being used by Iran to ship weapons to Syria. The New York Times reported that the deliveries resumed over the summer despite objects from the US.

• Egypt's president Mohamed Morsi told an Arab League meeting in Cairo that his proposed four-nation contact group on Syria (comprising Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Turkey) is about to meet to discuss the crisis. His speech was given a standing ovation, but activists urged Egypt to do more to stand up to the Assad regime.

• The US state department has urged Syria to account for the journalist Austin Tice who went missing more than two weeks ago. Tice's mother Debra is campaigning for the release of her son by posting photos of him from the family album.


Bahrain

• Bahrain has faced fresh international condemnation after an appeal court upheld the convictions and sentences of 13 men who faced charges in military tribunals related to anti-government protests during the Arab spring last year. The men, who include activists Abdulhadi al-Khawaja and Ebrahim Sharif, were originally sentenced last summer to between two years and life in prison. International, which attended the first trial, called the ruling "outrageous."

• Glenn Greenwald examines CNN's unusual decision not to broadcast a hard-hitting documentary on the repression of last year's uprising in Bahrain. Amber Lyon, the reporter who made the programme, who has since left the company, has been warned by CNN's lawyers that her severance and insurance benefits will be cut if she speaks publicly about the issue, he writes. Greenwald also detailsCNN International's "deep and longstanding" financial dealings with Bahrain.
