Arab League ready to send observer mission to Syria: UN chief


New York: United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has said that the Arab League (AL) chief has informed him that the League is ready to resend its observer mission to Syria. 
Ban said in New York that AL’s Secretary-General Nabil al-Arabi had told him during a Tuesday telephone conversation of the plan to resume the mission and had asked for it to become a joint UN-AL operation.
The League’s team ended its monitoring work in Syria on January 28.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March, with demonstrations being held both against and in favor of Assad. Hundreds of people, including many members of the Syrian security forces, have been killed during the violence.
