Syrians must find solution: Ex-minister

Former Syrian information minister and national democratic initiative chief Mohammed Salman has said that Syrians must seize the initiative to end the 11-month unrest after a UN resolution on the conflict was vetoed. Russia and China vetoed the resolution backing an Arab plan calling on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to quit. The veto came a day after activists said Syrian forces bombarded the city of Homs, killing more than 200 people in the worst night of bloodshed of the 11-month uprising.
