Brahimi: Syrian Gov't, Rebels Agree to Holiday Truce 
-----------------------------------------------------


 
In Syria, international mediator Lakhdar Brahimi is claiming the Syrian
government has agreed to a brief ceasefire during the Muslim holiday of
Eid al-Adha. Brahimi also says the majority of rebel groups have also
pledged to abide by the truce. The Syrian government has yet to confirm
whether it will take part, saying a final decision will come on
Thursday.
