Syrian FM: Arming rebels is dangerous decision
None
The decision by the United States and its allies to arm rebel groups in Syria is "very dangerous" and will prolong the violence and killing on the ground, Syria's foreign minister said Monday.
Walid al-Moallem said sending more weapons to the opposition will also hinder efforts to bring both sides to the table in a planned peace conference in Geneva. He said his country remains ready and willing to take part but added President Bashar Assad will not step down. (AP)
