30 dead in Syria hours after new UN ceasefire call

Ten civilians killed by regime mortar fire and 12 troops died in clashes with rebels were among 30 dead in Syria today just hours after a new UN call for all sides to respect a troubled truce.UN chief Ban Ki-moon said it was vital that government and opposition alike cooperate fully with a hard-won UN observer force as it fans out in its mission to shore up the ceasefire agreement that took effect on April 12.
And UN peacekeeping chief Herve Ladsous went a step further, accusing both sides of violating the putative truce.
