CAIRO |
CAIRO (Reuters) Syria has agreed to pull its military out of cities, release prisoners and hold talks with the opposition as part of an Arab plan to end violence triggered by an uprising against President Bashar al-Assad.
"We are happy to have reached this agreement and we will be even happier when it is implemented immediately," Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani said after Arab foreign ministers met over the plan in Cairo.
Assad has deployed his army and security forces to crush protests inspired by uprisings elsewhere in the Arab world. He has said they are battling Islamist militants and armed gangs.
