ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE, April 10 (Reuters) – The White House
said on Tuesday it had seen no evidence so far of a Syrian army
pullback and would work with international partners on “next
steps” against Damascus if it failed to meet its commitments
under a U.N.-brokered ceasefire deal.
“We have seen much evidence of further brutality and
oppression against innocent civilians,” White House spokesman
Jay Carney told reporters aboard Air Force One headed for
Florida.
He said the U.S. government was awaiting international envoy
Kofi Annan’s assessment of actions by Syrian President Bashar
al-Assad’s forces.
