Coalition seeks path after veto on Syria crisis
The United States and allies floated ideas after Russia and China vetoed a UN resolution to end Syria’s 11 month bloodshed. Rebels push for force to topple Bashar Assad amid government bombardment of Zabadani and civilian casualties including five children in Damascus suburbs. Activists report makeshift hospitals full and towns under siege as sides threaten greater violence and possible civil war. Col. Riad al Asaad, from Turkey, says Syria must be liberated from a “criminal gang” by force.
