Syrian Ceasefire Fails

The ceasefire in Syria failed before it could start as both sides continued fighting right up to and past the set time.

In an emphasis of it's failure, a car bomb went off in Damascus, killing five and wounding thirty-two.

Lakhdar Brahimi, the UN's envoy to Syria, had promised that he had delivered a four day cease fire, over the Eid al-Adha holiday.

Once again a UN promise to end the conflict was shown to be useless, as neither side actually will stop til they win.


At least thirty-five thousand people have been killed during the nineteen month conflict.
