The Syrian Government delegation at peace talks in Geneva has told the United Nations that it wanted opposition groups to condemn an attack on security forces, saying that otherwise they would be considered terrorists. Suicide bombers stormed two Syrian security offices in Homs, killing dozens with gunfire and explosions including the head of military security. “Today, the test is that we expect that the (opposition) platforms (in Geneva) condemn this terrorist attack,” chief negotiator Bashar Ja’afari said after meeting UN mediator Staffan de Mistura.
