Syria crisis: Damascus 'suicide bombing' kills 10

An estimated toll of 9,000 people have now died in Syria and with the ceasefire in affect but seldom being applied, both protesters and President Bashar al-Assad's forces don't seem to be letting up. This most recent incident has now taken the lives of 10 people and injured 20. Coming from BBC News Middle East, this story shows the continued violence near the capital of Syria where a terrorist suicide bomber caused this blast in the Midan area. The bomber hit after civilians were leaving their Friday prayers in the Zain al-Abidin mosque. The UN has about 15 observers in Syria but the Security Council has approved the deployment of 300 in total. This talk of having 300 observes in Syria has now been going on for a few weeks. Some articles I have skimmed through mentioned wanting the observers there by the end of the month; however, there have been some international issues getting a few particular observers to Syria. Peace is of the utmost importance and the west wants to create that but they are pushing for an arms embargo and UN sanctions. China and Russia have declared that they will argue any authorized of military action.
