Annan says Syria situation 'unacceptable'
None
Diplomats said international envoy Kofi Annan is telling the UN Security Council that the situation in Syria remains "unacceptable" and is expressing particular alarm at reports that government troops entered the central city of Hama firing automatic weapons.
The council diplomats, speaking on condition of anonymity because Annan's videoconference briefing on Tuesday was closed, quoted Annan as saying the overall situation is also "entirely contrary to the will of the international community." Annan said that if the government firing in Hama on Monday is confirmed, "this is reprehensible and unacceptable," according to the diplomats. (AP)
