At least 120 people were killed in a series of attacks that shook the areas under the control of government forces in Syria, while the US continues to press for declaring a truce announcing a "temporary" cessation of hostilities agreement.
The Islamic State extremist group claimed responsibility for a double suicide attack in Homs, the third largest city in the country, where at least 57 people were killed according to an NGO.
Other 62 people were killed in at least three attacks took place near a sacred Shiite site in the south of Damascus.
In this bloody backdrop and despite the failed attempts to enter into force on the ceasefire in that country convulsed by civil war, the US Secretary of State John Kerry announced in Amman "one flat; principle interim agreement "with Russia on the terms of a ceasefire, which" could be implemented within the next few days. "
Awaiting Obama and Putin
Besides Russia, the international coalition under US leadership conducts air strikes since 2014. For one week, Turkey bombards Kurdish Syrian forces near its borders.
This very complex situation that has been created makes it difficult to implement a ceasefire agreement.
Today in Amman, Jordan, John Kerry tried to appear optimistic and announced during a press conference that again spoke on the phone with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov.
"We ended up in a flat; principle tentative agreement on the terms of a cessation of hostilities that could come into force next time."
"This has not been done and I predict that President Obama and Putin would discuss in the coming days to try to complete this effort," he added.
"Today we are closer to a ceasefire" assured the US State Secretary, who calls for several days Moscow to help in order to have a truce with the termination mainly of Russian bombings.
