Cairo, Rajab 27, 1433, Jun 17, 2012, SPA - Eleven people were killed on Sunday in Syria, activists said, a day after the United Nations suspended an observer mission due to escalating violence. The Local Coordination Committees, a group of activists documenting violence, said five people were killed in Damascus and three in the central province of Homs, where regime forces have for days been shelling rebel strongholds, according to a report of DPA. Two people were killed in the northern city of Aleppo and one was killed in the southern city of Daraa, the group said. Robert Mood, the head of the UN mission in Syria, said that observers would stop patrols until further notice and that the suspension would be reviewed on a daily basis. The observers have been in Syria since April under a three-month mandate to monitor a UN-brokered ceasefire that never took hold. --SPA 13:05 LOCAL TIME 10:05 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/1008226
