敘利亞政府稱恐怖分子襲擊電視臺

Syria's state-run news agency says an "armed terrorist group" killed three people during an attack on a pro-government television station.

SANA said terrorists planted explosives during the attack early Wednesday at this TV station, but did not say how the employees died.

Syria often uses the term "armed terrorists" to label the rebels leading the revolt against Mr. Assad's nearly 12-year rule.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad addressed his new Cabinet on Tuesday, and expressed the need to focus the government on the fighting.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights told VOA the Syrian military fired artillery in several rebellious suburbs near central Damascus for the first time on Tuesday. killed at least 62 people, more than half of them civilians.

Diplomats at Tuesday's briefing quote Ladsous as saying the observer mission will remain suspended. The U.N. official also said the Syrian government refuses to allow the monitors to use satellite telephones, which he called "key tools" of the operation.敘利亞國家媒體說，“武裝恐怖組織”在向一家親政府的電視臺發動的一次攻擊行動中，打死三人。

敘利亞阿拉伯通訊社說，恐怖分子星期三清晨在襲擊這家電視臺時放置了爆炸物，但沒有說明恐怖分子是怎樣打死這家電視臺僱員的。

敘利亞當局經常把領導反對阿薩德將近十二年統治的反政府武裝人員稱做“武裝恐怖分子”。

敘利亞總統阿薩德星期二對新內閣發表談話說，政府必須把戰鬥作爲工作重點。

總部設在倫敦的敘利亞人權瞭望臺的負責人告訴美國之音，敘利亞軍方星期二首度向大馬士革中部附近郊區的幾個反叛組織的據點發動了炮擊至少造成了62人死亡，其中超過半數是平民。
聯合國維和行動負責人拉德蘇表示，由於敘利亞現在的形勢過於危險，聯合國監督員無法重新開展在敘利亞的工作。

參加星期二的聯合國安理會情況通報會的外交官說，拉德蘇告訴安理會，在敘利亞的觀察行動將繼續處於中斷狀態。他補充說，敘利亞政府還不允許觀察員使用他所謂的“重要行動工具”的衛星電話。

由於在敘利亞的300名聯合國觀察員面臨安全風險，敘利亞聯合國觀察團負責人羅伯特.穆德少將於6月16日暫停了在敘利亞的行動。聯合國表示在此前的幾星期裏，襲擊者已經多次使用火炮和炸彈襲擊觀察團。
