Riyadh: The head of the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council on Friday called for the UN Security Council to take firm action against Damascus after the mass killings in a village of central Syria.
He called for action under the world body’s Chapter VII, which could clear the way for military action.
Abdul Latif Zayani branded Thursday’s killings “a savage, terrorist act contrary to the precepts of Islam” and urged the Security Council “to put an end to the painful tragedy of the Syrian people”.
He also urged a full investigation.
Several dozen rebels were among those killed in the village of Treimsa, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, adding that some victims had been summarily executed.
