Video: Syrian opposition fear failure of Arab mission
Syria’s opposition has expressed concerns over the success of the Arab League mission as violence continues to rage across the country.
Some of the latest amateur video available on social networks appears to show more examples of the violent crackdown on anti-government protests.
In Zaid’s Damascus suburb, Douma, protesters carried away a man whose leg had been shredded by what they said were nail bombs.
"One member of the observer team did denounce the use of snipers. We've seen it with our own eyes, and we want the authorities to remove them immediately. If there is no response within 24 hours, there will be other measures he said."
