Syria: Kofi Annan says still hope for peace plan despite renewed attacks On Monday at least 105 people were killed in the attacks, taking the death toll to nearly 300 over the past three days, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. A spokeswoman for the Syrian National Council said the pro-government troops have defied the April 10 ceasefire agreement. SNC spokeswoman Bassma Kodmani told reporters in Geneva on Tuesday that regime forces intensified their onslaught in opposition areas, using heavy weapons including anti-aircraft guns against civilians. The rebel Free Syrian Army said it will ceasefire only if Mr Assad removes his forces and stops attacking opposition forces. But Walid Muallem, Syria's foreign minister, told reporters in Moscow after a meeting with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov that Damascus had already begun implementing Mr Annan's peace plan. I told my Russian colleague of the steps Syria is taking to show its goodwill for the implementation of the Annan plan. We have already withdrawn military units from different Syrian provinces," Mr Muallem said. However, Russia's Foreign Minister made it very clear that Syria must be more "decisive" in fulfilling the peace plan. "We believe their actions could have been more active, more decisive when it comes to the implementation of the plan," Mr Lavrov told the joint news conference with Muallem. Russia, along with China, blocked a UN vote to take action against Syria, but said it hoped all sides would the ceasefire and stop the country from slipping into a full out civil war. Both countries support Mr Annan's peace plan, which diplomats said gives Assad until midnight to comply. Britain also accused Mr Assad's regime of intensifying violence against opposition forces. Mr Hague said on Tuesday: "There is no evidence so far that the Assad regime has any intention of adhering to any agreement it makes." He said Britain will continue to work toward implementing Annan's six-point peace plan, but if it fails he said Britain is prepared to bolster support for Syrian opposition. The statement concluded: "President Assad and his closest cronies should be under no doubt that they will be held to account for their actions. All those with influence over the Syrian leadership, including Russia, have a duty to back efforts to stop the violence and to isolate a regime which is as doomed as it is dangerous to the Syrian people. We will be ready to intensify our support for the Syrian Opposition, and to support others seeking to do the same. And we will begin the process of seeking the referral by the Security Council of the situation in Syria to the International Criminal Court.
