Al Akhbar | Arab monitors watched Homs killings: Syrian activist
Arab League monitors stood by and watched on as Syrian troops killed more civilians in Homs, contradicting the mission head’s comments that he saw “nothing frightening” in the city, a Syrian opposition group said.
Sudanese General Mustafa Dabi, head of the Arab League observers, remarked on Wednesday that the situation in Homs “seemed reassuring so far.”
“Some places looked a bit of a mess but there was nothing frightening,” Dabi said.
An activist in Homs, Saleem Kabbani, refuted Dabi’s comments, stating that monitors “saw with their own eyes” clashes taking place in Homs.
“Yesterday when the head of the committee (Dabi) came to Baba Amro district, we heard live ammunition being fired. We told him there was live ammunition being fired, but he answered that it was not clear what was the source,” Kabbani said by phone from the flashpoint city.
Kabbani, a member of the Local Coordination Committees (LCC), said the monitors initially requested to visit Baba Amro – the scene of an alleged crackdown by Syrian forces on Monday – in the accompany of Syrian troops.
The locals refused the monitors’ request, Kabbani said, and the Arab observers eventually agreed to enter the area without Syrian troops after negotiations.
