Syria Warns to Retaliate to 'Intensified' Rebel Attacks
Syria warned on Sunday that its forces will respond to "intensified" rebel attacks, even as U.N. military observers were headed for the unrest-hit country to monitor a shaky ceasefire.
"Armed terrorist groups have intensified their attacks in a hysterical way against the army, law enforcement forces, and civilians, in conjunction with the approval of the U.N. Security Council resolution to send monitors to Syria," a military official said, quoted by state television.
Security forces "will prevent the terrorist groups from continuing their criminal attacks," the official added.
