The Arab League agreed Sunday to keep an observer mission in Syria aimed at ending 10 months of deadly violence, the organization's head Nabil al-Arabi said, DPA reported.
"The observers will continue their mission and will pursue it in full honesty," he told a press conference after a meeting of an Arab League committee on Syria.
"I hope the Syrian leadership will take firm decisions to stop the bloodbath," Qatar's Prime Minister Hamad bin Jassim told the same conference. "But we are not satisfied up until now," he added.
