UN observers in Syria say they have suspended all cease-fire
monitoring activities in the country because of escalating violence
between government and opposition forces.Syria's crisis has apparently spiraled into an all-out civil war. Fierce
battles between government troops and the opposition Free Syria Army
have spread to almost every part of the country.A ceasefire brokered by the United Nations is no longer in place.
UN mission Chief Robert Mood spoke to reporters on Saturday in the
capital Damascus. He said rising bloodshed over the past 10 days was
posing significant risks to UN observers.Mood said the observers will not be conducting patrols and the suspension will be reviewed on a daily basis.
Mood added that operations will resume when the observers feel the
situation is safe for them to carry out their mandated activities.
