Syrian rebels welcome truce but warn of need for oversight
BEIRUT, Sept 11 (Reuters) - Syrian rebel factions will issue a statement welcoming the U.S.-Russian deal for a ceasefire and aid deliveries in Syria but with reservations about the handling of violations by the government side, a rebel official said on Sunday.
"The factions welcome a ceasefire and welcome the incoming of aid, but have reservations about some points... what are the sanctions if the regime doesn't abide by it?" said Zakaria Malahifji of the Aleppo-based rebel group Fastaqim.
