Syria: It's time for Assad to go, says US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton

Suggesting that the US has finally lost patience with current diplomatic efforts to stop the violence in Syria, Hillary Clinton tells Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to stand aside and leave the country.

Mrs Clinton said the United States was willing to work with all members of the UN Security Council, which includes Russia, on a conference on Syria's political future as long as it started with the premise that Assad gave way to a democratic government.

"Assad must transfer power and depart Syria," Clinton told a news conference in Istanbul after meeting foreign ministers from Arab and Western nations to discuss counterterrorism.

"The regime-sponsored violence that we witnessed again in Hama yesterday is simply unconscionable. Assad has doubled down on his brutality and his duplicity and Syria will not, cannot be peaceful, stable or certainly democratic until Assad goes."

United Nations observers have been prevented from reaching the village of Mazraat al-Qubeir, near Hama where anti-Assad activists say Syrian troops and militiamen loyal to the president massacred between 78-100 villagers, the head of the monitoring mission said on Thursday. By contrast, they were allowed to see the scene of the Houla massacre when more than 100 people were killed.

Ban Ki-moon, the UN Secretary General, calling the latest atrocity "shocking and sickening", claimed UN monitors trying to get to the scene were shot at.
