Syrian Diplomat: Sanctions Could Derail Peace Plan 
---------------------------------------------------


 
In response to the proposal suggested by the United States and three
Security Council allies, Syria's ambassador to the United Nations,
Bashar Ja'afari, said the threat of new sanctions could derail the
international ceasefire plan.

Bashar Ja’afari: "We are fully committed towards the success of Mr.
Kofi Annan's plan. But at the same time we are fully warning everybody
that the other efforts deployed by here and there, by this country or
that country, to derail the six points plan of Mr. Kofi Annan from its
initial track, would be extremely dangerous."
