Bashar Al- Assad has barely begun his hell despite talk of peace

FSA destroys Syrian military outpost, Syria accepts cease-fire; fighting enters Lebanon: Assad has barely begun despite talk of peace. Beware!

FSA destroys Syrian military outpost: Syrian army defector, Lieutenant Colonel Khalid Youssef al-Hammoud, informed Asharq Al-Awsat that he led an FSA operation into Syrian territory “which led to the destruction of a military outpost and the capture of all of those based there.” He stressed “yesterday [on Monday] I led a group of our soldiers in an operation targeting an al-Assad military outpost in the Badama region [of Idlib province], which is just 9 km from the Turkish border.

We attacked a special foces outpost located beneath a [railway] bridge in retaliation against the operations carried out by al-Assad regime forces in Jabal al-Zawiya.” Al-Hammoud revealed “we took control of the outpost and completely destroyed it; we captured all 17 soldiers who were based there, including First Lieutenant Abdul-Rahman al-Turki” adding “al-Turki was later shot in the kidney and killed by Syrian army forces as they fired upon us.”

Syria tightens travel restrictions on military age men: The restrictions issued on Saturday require men between the age of 18 and 42 to get permission from military recruitment and immigration departments before traveling, the officials said. The move came after a year of protests against Assad and increasing reports of desertions by army conscripts. Lebanese officials at the Masnaa border crossing between Beirut and Damascus said the number of people leaving Syria had fallen by 60 per cent since the regulations were announced two days ago.

Syria accepts cease-fire; fighting enters Lebanon: Syria has accepted a cease-fire and peace plan drawn up by UN and Arab League special envoy Kofi Annan, his spokesman said on Tuesday, even as Syrian troops thrust into Lebanon to battle rebels who had taken refuge there.

Syrian troops advanced into north Lebanon, destroying farm building and clashing with Syrian rebels holed up there, residents said. They said Syrian forces crossed a few hundred meters into Lebanese territory. A security source in Beirut said clashes had taken place near the poorly marked border but did not confirm Syrian troops had entered Lebanon. Shells hit north Lebanon last week and residents say Syrian troops have briefly crossed the frontier while pursuing fleeing rebels in recent months. "More than 35 Syrian soldiers came across the border and started to destroy houses,"

Assad Tours Homs As Syria Peace Deal Agreed: British Foreign Secretary William Hague cast doubt on Syria's latest stance, saying the regime's recent history provided cause for skepticism. "We have to look at the track record of the Assad-regime, which has been over the last year to say that they are signing up to agreements... and not implement them in practice," he said. "This is a regime that has been involved in the murdering of many thousands of people (and) the torture and abuse of many others.

Damn straight! Assad is not going to abide by any peace deal, that's a joke! You know he is not going to stop until he murders all resisters, rounds up all military defectors and kills or imprisons them too. I have always like Kofi Annan but he has always proven to be useless and extremely naive.

I just had to talk about this it is such a horrible sham! The truth is that after Assad's murderers helped by the IRG, Hezbollah, and Russian terror specialists slaughtered the people of Baba Amr he burned the bodies he could and hid what he could. He then has citizens loyal to him bused in to make it look like he was the welcoming hero.

Assad promised that after what the terrorists did and they were wiped out the city would be rebuilt bigger and better than before. It will be aired on state run TV so his "loyal" citizens could believe the lie that he is loved and is working for the people. This is not going to be good The Shiite Alawite's are going to side with Iran, Hezbollah, Russia, and whoever else that will help them and The protester's and the free Syrian army will side with Al Qaeda, Saudi Arabia, Israel, weapons suppliers and anyone else that will help them. This is barely beginning and just the beginning of the middle east breakdown George W Bush started with his illegal attack on Iraq.

Assad urged to leave to Russia, asylum offered in Tunisia, Islam confused

Syrian envoy denounces UN talks, walks out [Video]

Syria claims 90% of voters backed reforms in referendum: Syria claimed that a constitutional referendum held on Sunday was approved by close to 90% of voters, even as international reaction to its ongoing crackdown intensified with the European Union announcing fresh sanctions against key regime figures. Bloodshed continued in restive parts of the country on Monday, with around 30 people killed the day after a ballot which had been hailed as a showpiece of reform in the rigidly controlled state.

The Baba Amr district of the country's third city, Homs, was again the worst affected, with violence in the neighborhood accounting for much of the nationwide death toll. That is not hard to believe when you take into account that Assad supporters were the only ones that felt safe enough to venture out and vote their mind.

70 dead as Asaad urged to leave to Russia: The President of Tunisia Moncef Marzouki has proposed to the Syrian President to go to Russia with his family into exile. In a speech at the first meeting of the Friends of Syria, which was held in Tunis, he said the Assad family should be guaranteed immunity.
"The justice will not be served, but the life of the Syrians is more important than justice," he said. Such a solution along the lines of the Yemen road plan is better than a military intervention or the arming of deserters, the Tunisian leader stressed.

Hamas PM salutes 'heroic' Syrians: Gaza premier Ismail Haniya on Friday hailed the "heroic" Syrian struggle for democracy during a rally in Cairo, in the first expression of support of the uprising by a Hamas leader. "I salute all the people of the Arab Spring, or rather the Islamic Winter," Haniya told thousands of cheering people during the demonstration of support for Palestinians and Syrians at Cairo's Al-Azhar mosque.
"I salute the heroic Syrian people, who are striving for freedom, democracy and reform," he added. "No Iran, no Hezbollah. Syria is Islamic," chanted the protesters, in an apparent reference to the Syrian regime's Shiite Muslim supporters.

Iran angry at Hamas abandoning Al-Assad

Syria conflict worries Beirut, reopens divisions: People in the Lebanese capital Beirut are watching anxiously as the increasingly bloody conflict in neighbouring Syria unfolds, fearing it could spill over the border and bring a return of the violence that tore their own country apart for so long.

Indonesia urges all parties in Syria to end violence: "Principally, we agreed that violence must be stopped now. Now, not tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, because enough blood has been shed, there have been enough people who have suffered," said Natalegawa.

The Minister said in the press conference after met Minister of Foreign Affairs of Sudan Ali Ahmed Karti at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Jakarta on Friday, Feb 24. Natalegawa also said that Indonesia has signed an agreement with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to support peace in the Middle-East.
"It is very unfortunate that UN has failed to take a stance about conflict in Syria, therefore we have to push more the diplomatic effort," he said.

7500 dead in Syria as Assad offered asylum in Tunisia: Tunisian President Mouncef Marzouki offered the Syrian ruler Bashar al-Assad a political asylum. Tunisia was willing to host Assad and his family, the Tunisian leader told the local newspaper of "La Presse". On Friday, Tunisia hosted a conference called the "Friends of Syria" in his speech there, Marzouki offered Assad to step down in exchange for legal immunity.
