Arab League attend prayers in Syria
- 13 years ago
Pro-Assad demonstrators rail against the Arab League monitoring team and what they see as foreign interference in Syria.
The League's mandate expired on Thursday, ending the three and a half week mission.
General Mohammed al-Dabi, the party's head, is expected to report to the Arab League on Sunday on what his team has witnessed.
He says they've been able to answer all their questions.

"In what concerns the raised questions, we have reached the answers for them."
He and five colleagues took time out to join Friday prayers in this mosque in Old Damascus.
Critics say the mission has served as diplomatic cover for a government crackdown that has killed more than 5,000 people according to the United Nations.
