阿盟祕書長警告敘利亞正陷入內戰

The chief of the Arab League warned Friday that Syria may be heading towards a civil war as thousands of Syrians took to the streets in support of an armed rebel group.

Arab League head Nabil Elaraby made the comments in interviews with The Associated Press and an Egyptian television station while anti-government protesters voiced support for the Free Syrian Army, composed mainly of former soldiers. Activists say 20,000 gathered in the town of Ariha in the northwest Idlib province. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says soldiers opened fire on protesters in the region, killing at least one person. The 10-month crackdown on anti-government protests has turned more violent in recent months as defecting soldiers have taken up arms against the government.阿拉伯國家聯盟祕書長星期五警告說，敘利亞可能正走向內戰。與此同時，數以千計敘利亞人走上街頭支持一個反政府武裝組織。阿拉伯國家聯盟祕書長阿拉比在接受美聯社和一家埃及電視臺採訪時發出這一警告。與此同時，反政府示威者向以倒戈軍人爲主的自由敘利亞軍表示支持。活動人士說，敘利亞西北伊德利卜省阿利哈鎮有2萬人舉行集會。敘利亞人權瞭望臺表示，該地區軍人向示威者開槍，打死至少一人。

對反政府示威者10個月的鎮壓最近幾個月變得越來越暴力，倒戈軍人已經開始拿起武器反對政府。
