Syria has sent the Arab League a letter asking for support against what it called U.S. involvement in “bloody events” in the country amid increasing opposition calls for international protection of civilians against the forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad.
The statement said the letter from Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem accused Washington “of actual involvement in bloody events in Syria” and asked the League to “condemn the involvement and to do what is necessary to end it.”
The Syrian government allegations followed calls by opposition groups for “international protection for civilians” in the central city of Homs, besieged by the forces of President Assad and theater of deadly clashes between soldiers and alleged army deserters.
Declaring Homs a “humanitarian disaster area,” the Syrian National Council urged the United Nations, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the Arab League to act “to stop the massacre committed by the regime.”
