Syria scuttles truce plan with new demands
The U N Arab League plan to halt Syria bloodshed collapsed as Assad's government demanded written guarantees from opposition that they will lay down weapons before any troop pullback. The Free Syrian Army said it would not recognize the regime and would not provide guarantees. Russia urged continued support for the plan while other powers hesitate on intervention. Activists reported heavy shelling, killing dozens daily, with 21 to 40 killed on Sunday including civilians in Homs. Syria also sought assurances that Qatar Turkey and Saudi Arabia halt financing and arming of what it called terrorist groups.
