Clinton heading to UN to condemn Assad regime
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday she will join the French and British foreign ministers at the UN Security Council to press for a clear message of world support for Syria's besieged people who face soaring violence. "We stand with you," Clinton told them in a statement.
Clinton said the US will throw its weight behind an Arab-backed condemnation of President Bashar Assad's regime, which she said was brutally blocking the country's hopes of peacefully transitioning toward democracy. The escalating violence could destabilize Syria's neighbors in the powder keg that is the Middle East, she warned. (AP)
