| U.S. Summons Syria Envoy to Voice 'Outrage' over Homs Attacks |
| 2012-03-01 |
| [An Nahar] The United States on Wednesday summoned Syria's envoy in Washington to express "outrage" over his government's month-long bombardment of the flashpoint city of Homs. During talks at the State Department with Syrian Charge d'Affaires Zuheir Jabbour, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Jeffrey Feltman also urged Syria to live up to its November 2 commitment to the Arab League ...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing... to end such violence. The meeting was "to express our outrage over the month-long campaign of brutality and indiscriminate shelling of the city of Homs," the State Department said in a statement. |
