US warns of failed Syrian peace plan
None
US Ambassador Susan Rice says the worst and most likely scenario for Syria is that Kofi Annan's peace plan will fail.
Rice said Wednesday after a closed-door briefing to the UN Security Council by one of Annan's deputies, that Syrian government was unlikely to immediately implement the Annan plan. If President Bashar Assad refuses to implement the plan, Rice said the UN Security Council should assume its responsibility and put additional pressure on Syria including sanctions. (AP)
