Opposition activists in Syria have accused the government of deceiving Arab League monitors.
Military vehicles have been replaced to make it look as though the army has left city centres as required by an Arab League peace plan, activists said. At least 12 people were killed across Syria on Wednesday, according to one activist network. The UN says more than 5,000 civilians have been killed in a crackdown on anti-government protests since March. Casualty figures and other details are hard to verify as most foreign media are barred from reporting freely in Syria. Around 100 Arab League observers have been in Syria since last week to monitor compliance to a peace plan brokered by the Arab League.
