US and allies meet in Geneva to flesh out Syria plan
The United States and allies from the Middle East and Europe met in Geneva on Tuesday to coordinate efforts toward a new ceasefire in Syria, senior US officials and Western diplomats said, as Russia unexpectedly announced it had halted air strikes over the besieged city of Aleppo.
A Western diplomat said "like-minded nations" had agreed to create a "working group to see how to see how we could separate (Al Qaeda-linked group) Nusra from the moderate opposition. The first meeting is today in Geneva."
The meeting was made up of experts from the United States, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, France, Turkey and Jordan.
