Clashes rage in Syria as US pushes peace talks

AFP, Damascus
Fierce fighting raged in Syria's east yesterday, where rebels killed a top intelligence officer and executed 10 soldiers, as the United States pushed for new peace talks.
US officials said Secretary of State John Kerry would head to Europe for discussions on a planned peace conference in Geneva, which a Syrian official said could come at the end of November.
But the prospects for the conference, dubbed Geneva 2, remain unclear, with the Syrian opposition divided and due to vote next week on whether to take part.
On the ground, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported fierce clashes that began in the eastern province of Deir Ezzor overnight continued yesterday.
The group, which relies on a network of activists, doctors and lawyers, also reported regime air strikes wounded several people and damaged homes in Deir Ezzor city.
They followed rebel advances in the Rashdiya neighbourhood, where a top intelligence officer Major General Jamaa Jamaa was killed on Thursday.
The Observatory said Jamaa, who was in charge of military intelligence in Deir Ezzor province, was hit by sniper fire during clashes in Rashdiya between troops and jihadist fighters.
It also reported that fighters of the al-Qaeda-linked Al-Nusra Front executed 10 soldiers after capturing them during the clashes.
The fighting came a day after Syria's Deputy Prime Minister Qadri Jamil said proposed peace talks in Geneva could take place on November 23-24.
Meanwhile, a team from the United Nations and the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons has been in Syria since October 1 to oversee the destruction of its chemical arms by mid-2014.
On Thursday the OPCW, which was awarded the Nobel Peace prize for its work, said nearly half of its inspections were complete, but said security remains a key concern.
CATS, DOGS, DONKEYS HALAL!

A group of Syrian clerics have issued a ruling - or fatwa -allowing people living in besieged suburbs of Damascus to eat meat that is normally forbidden.
In a video, the Muslim clerics said people could eat cats, dogs and donkeys to stave off hunger. The fatwa comes amid reports of starvation in the besieged, rebel-held Damascus suburb of Muadhamiya.
Aid agencies have urged the government to allow humanitarian supplies to the area, where many residents are trapped.
The clerics said it was a cry for help to the whole world, adding that if the situation continued to deteriorate, the living would have to eat the dead.
