-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



On Wednesday, the Syrian government publicly agreed to a complete halt
to violence against civilians and to a withdrawal from cities like Homs.
The announcement was made in Cairo at a meeting of Arab foreign
ministers. Despite the deal there are reports from the city of Homs that
Syrian troops killed at least three people today. At least 11 people
were killed at a roadblock northwest of Homs on Wednesday.
