FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The head of the UN mission in Syria, Major General Robert Mood briefed the UN Security Council in New York on Tuesday, saying the UN monitors were “morally obliged” to stay in the country “even though the violence has halted their operations,” AFP reported.
Mood suspended the UN operations on June 16, arguing that the unrest posed a threat to his observers after some of them were targeted and prevented from implementing their mandate to oversee the UN-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan’s six-point ceasefire plan.
Mood told the meeting that UN vehicles had been attacked 10 times by “direct fire” and hundreds of times by “indirect fire.”
Herve Ladsous, the UN assistant secretary-general for peacekeeping, reaffirmed the message. “We have decided, for the time being, not to touch, not to modify, but rather to maintain the integrity of the mission,” he told reporters.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March 2011. The violence has claimed the lives of hundreds of people, including many security forces.
Damascus blames ‘outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups’ for the unrest, asserting that it is being orchestrated from abroad.
The West and the Syrian opposition, however, accuse the government of killing protesters.
