UN Chief Accuses Syria of Violating Cease-Fire Agreement with Israel
(AP-Washington Post) UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon accused the Syrian government Monday of serious violations of the 1974 agreement that separated Israeli and Syrian forces in the Golan Heights and called on both countries to halt firing across the cease-fire line. "I am concerned that the presence of armed members of the opposition and the ongoing military activities of the Syrian security forces have the potential to ignite a larger conflict," Ban said. "There should be no military activity of any kind in the area of separation."
