Syria's U.N. Ambassador Bashar Ja'afari speaks at the United Nations Security Council meeting at the U.N. headquarters in New York June 19, 2012. The chief U.N. monitor for Syria told the Security Council on Tuesday that his military observers were repeatedly targeted by hostile crowds and gunfire at close range last week before his decision to suspend the mission's operations. Ja'afari blamed the escalation of violence on "armed groups" and "terrorists" and reiterated Damascus' commitment to international mediator Kofi Annan's peace plan. He also rejected U.N. peacekeeping chief Herve Ladsous' remarks that Syria was now in an all-out civil war.
