Syria Blasts U.S. For 'Blatant Interference'


Damascus has condemned Washington for advising Syrians not to turn themselves into Syrian authorities who offer them amnesty.

Syria's SANA state news agency said "the American administration disclosed again its blatant interference in Syria's internal affairs" and accused Washington of funding terrorist groups in the country.

A U.S. State Department spokeswoman, Victoria Nuland, on November 4 advised Syrian protestors against surrendering to the regime of President Bashar al-Assad, whom Washington has called on to leave power.

Activists say clashes in Syria killed seven people on November 5 as the government continues its crackdown on protesters despite an Arab League-backed peace plan.
