The head of the Arab League called for an immediate ceasefire in Syria, saying that although Syria's military has withdrawn from residential areas, snipers remain. “Gunfire should be stopped and there are snipers,” said Nabil Elaraby, secretary-general of the Arab League. “We call upon the Syrian government to fully commit to what it promised.” Activists say at least 12 people were killed yesterday, while Army defectors seized two checkpoints and captured dozens of members of the security forces. Activists accuse the league of being manipulated by Syria’s president, Bashar al-Assad.
