Twin Bombings Hit Syrian City of Idlib 
---------------------------------------


 
Violence continues in Syria in the ongoing uprising against President
Bashar al-Assad. Earlier today, at least eight people were killed in a
pair of suicide bombings in the northwestern city of Idlib. Activists
say most of the dead were members of Assad's forces. As the fighting
rages, the head of the U.N. observer mission to Syria, Major General
Robert Mood, said more international monitors are needed and called on
all sides to adhere to a ceasefire.
bq. Major General Robert Mood: "To achieve the success of Kofi Annan's
six-point plan, I call on all; I call on all to stop the violence and to
help us on a continued cessation of armed violence in all its forms."
