Syria Condemns U.S. Ambassador's Visit to Hama
(Al-Jazeera-Qatar) Syria has accused Washington of "interfering" in its affairs by sending its ambassador to the restive city of Hama. Robert Ford toured the city on Thursday to show solidarity with residents facing a security crackdown after weeks of demonstrations against Bashar al-Assad, Syria's president. "The presence of the U.S. ambassador in Hama without previous permission is obvious proof of clear evidence of the United States' involvement in current events in Syria and its attempt to incite an escalation in the situation, which disturbs Syria's security and stability," the Syrian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
