Syria attacks Saudi Arabia over arming opposition calls
None
Syria lashed out at Saudi Arabia on Saturday, a day after the kingdom's foreign minister backed the idea of arming the rebels fighting President Bashar Assad's regime, accusing Riyadh of becoming "a partner" in the killings taking place in Syria.
The sharp riposte from Damascus, which was published in a state-run newspaper, came as activists said regime forces were pounding rebel-held neighborhoods in the central city of Homs, where the International Committee of the Red Cross said negotiations have resumed to evacuate wounded civilians as well as two Western journalists who were wounded in government shelling earlier this week.
