Syrian government has vowed to deal decisively with the gunmen blamed for the deaths of 120 security personnel in the northern town of Jisr al-Shughour. Interior Minister Ibrahim Shaar said the state would act with force. Residents later warned that there would be massive bloodshed if the authorities attempted to restore control by force. Meanwhile, France says it is ready to ask the UN Security Council to vote on a draft resolution condemning Damascus, despite a likely Russian veto. Speaking in Washington, French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said Paris believed that strong support in the 15-member Council might persuade Russia to change its mind. The draft resolution was drawn up by France, Britain, Germany and Portugal. The document condemns violence at the hands of the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and asks him to open Syrian cities to humanitarian teams.
