 欧州諸国は国連の対シリア決議案に修正を加え、双方の紛争当事者が暴力と急進主義を退けるよう呼びかける一文を加えた。AP通信社が伝えた。

 このアプローチはロシアのシリア支援を取り付ける目的でなされたもの。修正はなされたものの、欧州側の案には依然としてシリア政府ならびにアサド大統領個人に対し「特別措置」が導入される可能性が残った。一方で「制裁」という言葉は新案からは姿を消している。

 ロシアのチュルキン国連大使はこれに先立ち、非公開形式で行われた国連安保理会議で、ロシア側としては対シリア制裁を想起させる箇所を決議文書に含めることに反対すると唱えていた。

White House National Security Advisor Tom Donilon thanked Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah and the Gulf Cooperation Council for their opposition to violence in Syria "perpetrated by the Assad regime" during a visit to Saudi Arabia today, according to a White House statement.

During a one-day visit to Riyadh, Donilon "commended" King Abdullah for his call for "an end to violence against civilians" led by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime, White House spokesman Tommy Vietor said in a statement.

Assad's oppression has left more than 3,600 civilians dead since the protests began in March, according to Ammar Qurabi of the National Organization for Human Rights in Syria. About 30,000 people have been detained and 13,000 are still being held, Qurabi said. About 700 members of the state security forces have been killed in the uprising.

American Ambassador Robert Ford, a critic of Assad, escaped an attack by a mob in Damascus two days ago.

ROME, (SANA)_ Alessia Lai, an Italian Journalist, voiced astonishment over the recent statements by the U.S. State Department spokesman Mark Toner as not to be surprised by the ''fact that the opposition uses violence against the Syrian military''.

Lai wrote in her article, published yesterday by the Italian Rinascita Daily, that ''In Washington, they think they can say and do. To be able to ingest the internal affairs of countries that do not correspond to their idea - distorted - of "democracy." They climb into the chair and justify violence when necessary to achieve their goals, inventing, instead, if it is useful in justifying international condemnation.''

''The premise could be applied to each of the countries that in recent years, was bombed by the coalition of the willing led by the United States, The last in order of time is Libya, and the same technique is now being applied to Syria,'' added Lai.

''Such a statement, made by any official of any country "unaligned", would have sparked international outrage, would have been considered an incitement to violence. Even worse if it had been made on the same day that the armed groups killed 80 men in military, civilian and intelligence agents.''

The distinguished Italian journalist noted that western media fail to ''report the fact that weapons entering Syria illegally through the border with Iraq - which is likely to benefit groups of fundamentalists who want to transform the Syrian Republic into emirate - are American weapons,''

Lai cited some names of the Syrian intellectuals and officers killed by these weapons last week including Hassan Eid Sunday, surgeon of the hospital of Homs; Monday Aqil Mohammad Ali, a professor at the Faculty of Architecture of the Baath, and Nael General Dakhil, Director of the Military School of petrochemicals; Wednesday morning Aous Abdel Karim Khalil , a nuclear engineer and teacher at the University Al-Baath.

Lai added that the western media do not even talk about the U.S. funding - unveiled a few weeks ago by the cables made available by Wikileaks - the anti-government activities in Syria and elsewhere.

''Faced with such and such dis-information, and the protests of the population of Damascus yesterday against the aggression of the U.S. Ambassador Ford become "faithful regime "against the diplomat, who had gone to visit a Syrian lawyer, member of the opposition (who obviously - because it was in his office - is a free citizen and has not been locked up in prison or tortured or assaulted by the" police regime,'' Lai wrote.

''During the summer the Ambassador Ford had already made the protagonist, along with the French, at least a gesture of provocation: a visit to the city of Hama to express U.S. support to those manifested in those days against the government. Hama was then hit by gangs which have attacked hospitals, barracks, houses, causing dozens of casualties. In Egypt, Tunisia, Bahrain, Yemen, U.S. diplomats have carefully refrained from attending the riots in the streets, bringing their support to the protesters really affected by the repression,'' Lai underscored.

In response to the U.S. provocation, the Syrian Foreign Ministry has issued a statement in which it stated that "The statements of American leaders are striking evidence of the fact that the U.S. encourage armed groups to use violence against the Syrian Arab army, "and that" the allegations of the State Department spokesman Mark Toner, who called these natural acts of terrorism, are irresponsible and are intended to serve foreign interests opposed to those of the Syrian people.'' Alessia Lai concluded.
