‘Armed men violating Syria’s ceasefire’

Syrian state TV reported on Thursday that armed men assassinated a local government official in al-Mazareeb town.

Meanwhile, armed terrorists also killed an army officer and injured 24 others after they targeted a military bus with an explosive device in Syria’s second largest city of Aleppo.

In a similar incident, armed terrorists targeted a law-enforcement vehicle with an explosive device at Wadi Haj Khaled region in Idleb on Thursday, injuring a number of officers.

Syrian television reported that the anti-government armed groups were “intensifying criminal operations in an attempt to destabilize Syria and torpedo the plan” of UN-Arab league peace envoy Kofi Annan.

A ceasefire was implemented early in the morning in Syria in line with Annan’s six-point peace initiative in an effort to bring an end to more than a year of turmoil in the country.

The Syrian government is yet to comment on the attacks, but it has said in the past that security forces would “respond proportionately to any attacks carried out by armed terrorist groups against civilians, government forces or public and private property.”
