Syria rebels: Well cease fire if tanks, artillery leave
BEIRUT: Syrian rebels are ready to stop fighting the moment the Syrian army withdraws its tanks, artillery and heavy weapons from opposition areas, a spokesman for Free Syrian Army commanders inside Syria said on Saturday.We cannot accept the presence of tanks and troops in armored vehicles among the people. We dont have a problem with the cease-fire. As soon as they remove their armored vehicles, the Free Syrian Army will not fire a single shot, Lt. Col. Qassim Saad Al-Din told Reuters by telephone from Homs. A rebel officer in Damascus said separately: When (President Bashar) Assads gangs stop the shelling and killing of civilians, then our leaders can issue an order to stop operations and we will commit to it to show our good intentions.
