Syrian Rebels Hail U.N. Vote, Say Committed to Ceasefire
The rebel Free Syrian Army hailed the United Nations Security Council vote on Saturday to send 300 observers to monitor a ceasefire in Syria and said it was committed to the truce.
"We salute the dispatch of new observers," FSA spokesman Colonel Kassem Saadeddine told Agencce France Presse through a Skype call from Homs province.
The rebel army remains "committed to the ceasefire" that went into effect on April 12 as part of a plan designed by U.N.-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan to halt more than a year of deadly violence in Syria that has killed thousands of people.
