Syria parliament urges US Congress to block strikes
The head of Syria's parliament has urged the US Congress to vote against military action targeting the Syrian regime, state news agency SANA said on Friday. "We urge you not to take reckless measures as you have the power to steer the United States from the path of war to that of diplomacy," SANA quoted parliament chief Jihad al-Lahham as saying.
The message is intended to be sent to every member of the US Congress before they vote on a request from US President Barack Obama for authorization to use military force against Syria. (AFP)
