Syrian activists: Airstrikes on ISIS-held areas kill dozens

None

BEIRUT -- Air raids on an Islamic State-held village and town in Syria have killed at least 32 civilians over the past two days, activists said Monday.

 

The UN envoy for Syria meanwhile insisted that the latest round of peace talks between the government and the opposition in Geneva are serious, after President Bashar Assad said last week that they were just for show.

 

Staffan de Mistura assured reporters that the government delegation attending the talks is "here to work." The talks are scheduled to begin Tuesday and last around four days.
