BRUSSELS, Ramadan 4, 1433, Jul 23, 2012, SPA - The European Union will enforce an existing arms embargo against Syria by requiring member nations to board ships and aircraft carrying suspicious cargo to the war-torn nation. Foreign ministers meeting in Brussels endorsed the measure on Monday and also added 26 Syrian individuals and three companies to the bloc's existing sanctions list, according to a report of the Associated Press. The EU banned weapons exports to Syria in May, 2011. But until now, member states could decide whether or not to inspect cargos believed to be in breach of the embargo. --SPA 12:01 LOCAL TIME 09:01 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/1017425
