Envoy says Syria, most rebels agree to truce

DAMASCUS: Syria and most rebel chiefs have agreed to a truce this week, peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi said, but the main armed opposition group and Washington remained wary of any commitment from Damascus.

"The Syrian government has agreed to a ceasefire" during Eid, Brahimi said, adding that "most" rebel leaders contacted said they would observe it, boosting hopes of a breakthrough in the conflict. 

"If we succeed with this modest initiative, a longer ceasefire can be built," he said Wednesday.

Syria said it was studying the UN-Arab League envoy's initiative for a four-day ceasefire during the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha and would announce its decision Thursday, the day before it is supposed to take effect.

Russia's UN envoy Vitaly Churkin said his government had had "indications that they (the Syrian government) are accepting the proposal of Mr Brahimi".

Brahimi has been urging such a ceasefire initiative for weeks, but as the date for its implementation fast approaches there has been no let up in the deadly violence.
