Syria sent on Friday two letters to the president of the UN Security Council and the UN secretary general about the crimes committed by armed groups backed by Arab and Western countries, SANA reported Saturday.

According to the Syrian News Agency, the letters stated that "the terrorist acts committed by the armed terrorist groups in Syria have increased during the last few days, particularly after reaching an understanding on Kofi Annan's plan.”

“In addition to the bombings whose preliminary evidence revealed the involvement of Al-Qaeda members… instigation was escalated by some sides that claim they care for Syria and for the success of the UN Special Envoy's mission, while at the same time they act in contrary to Annan's plan and the return of security and stability to Syria,” the letters added.

They further referred to the “unprecedented media instigation” and to the latest meetings on Syria, pointing out that the latter aimed at “shedding more Syrian blood, as some of them announced establishing funds to finance and arm groups committing crimes.”

Moreover, the Syrian letters to the international officials noted that “Syria had provided the Arab monitors' mission and the UN with documents that prove the crimes perpetrated by the armed terrorist groups against civilians and law-enforcement forces in Syria and their countless attacks on private and public properties and infrastructures which have left negative impact on the life of the Syrian citizens.”

After listing the number of martyrs which reached 2,088 among the army and 478 among the police, the Syrian government called upon “all states to assist it in preventing terrorist acts and implementing the international conventions related to terrorism.”
