Syria calls for backing of Arab League
 Syria has called on the Arab League for an urgent summit to adopt a pro-Damascus position to counter international pressure imposed on the country due to the al-Hariri probe. Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa has sent two delegations to the Gulf countries regarding the recent United Nations Security Council resolution, Arab diplomats at the Arab League said on Tuesday. Syrian and some Lebanese groups have rejected and condemned the UN Security Council resolution threatening Syria. Speaking to Aljazeera, Numair Ghanim, Head of Syria's parliamentary committee on international relations, said: "Syria has demanded an urgent session of the Arab League to hold talks among Arabs and transfer the dangers behind the current events in the Middle East, particularly the pressure imposed on Syria. All our Arab brothers should be aware of what is going on, as this series, which the United States wants to play in the area, would not stop in Syria and Lebanon. Al-Hariri's blood has been used as a tool to achieve their [US] previously planned objectives."
