Damascus car bombings as Syria 'ceasefire' ends

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-20121575

There has been an attempt at a ceasefire between rebel forces and security forces in Syria; however, this has abruptly come to an end.  The truce was supposed to be held for the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha.  However, according to the Russian foreign minister neither side has truly followed it.  Since the truce was laid  out there have been over 400 casualties totaling from all sides of the conflict.  However, the truce has officially come to an end with the ending of the holiday and two car bombs going off in residential districts killing over 10 more people.  There is no positive outlook currently in this situation and there apparently has been no reason or cause for any international body to step in and help to truly cease the violence in Syria.
