Arab League halts Syria mission as violence rages

The Arab League has confirmed it is suspending its monitoring mission in Syria because of "the critical deterioration of the situation".

The pan-Arab bloc also says it is holding talks with Russia - one of the main opponents of the Arab League peace plan - ahead of a United Nations meeting in New York on Monday.

The main Syrian opposition group says it will go to the UN to appeal for protection from President Bashar al-Assad's forces.

Al Jazeera's Zeina Khodr reports from Beirut in neighbouring Lebanon.

MaestroNeferefre: I suppose the people that share your sentiments should be dragged out of Syria from their hair , face down so you can lick syrian earth for the last time. I doubt very much that you are Syrian, most likely a saudi, qatari fanatic, maybe the cousin of binladen.

Oh my Syrian brothers, listen carefully!  Democracy has nothing to do with Islam at all, in Islaam we have SHARIAH and we have the khaleefah, we have to stick to the Sunnah it is the only way for victory wallahi!! Do not imitate the kuffar and their systems, democracy is from the kuffar, we muslims have ISLAAM and we should be proud of this. The purpose of Jihad is to raise the kalaam la ilaaha illah Allaah (Islam)and not to raise the kufr of DEMOCRACY.Allah yunsurkum wa yahdeenah jamee'an amen

Syria is under insurrection by armed militia who cross the borders, intimidate and kill peaceful protesters, fire at Syrian police and army then disappear again, only to pop up in another area.

The media is not telling the truth about the death toll. Those numbers are coming from Israel and the puppet UN. Serbs are behind the revolts in at least 12 mid east countries. Under direction from US and Israel. See Gene Sharpe's blueprint' From Dictatorship to Democracy'

They are behind this too.
