Russia opens way to UN resolution on Syria (AP)

FILE- In this Friday, July 1, 2011 file photo, a citizen journalism image made on a mobile phone and provided by Shaam News Network, an anti-government protester holds up a banner that reads in Arabic:' leave, aren't you shy,' during a demonstration against Syrian President Bashar Assad in the southern Daraa province, Syria. Activist Ibrahim Qashoush's lyrics moved thousands of protesters in Syria who sang his jaunty verses at rallies, telling President Bashar Assad, 'Time to leave.' So when his body was dumped in the river flowing through his hometown, his killers added an obvious message: His throat was carved out. Qashoush's slaying underlines how brutal Syria's turmoil has become as authorities try to crush a persistent uprising. His fellow activists are convinced he was killed by security forces and fear it could mark a new campaign to liquidate protest leaders. (AP Photo/Shaam News Network) EDITORIAL USE ONLY, NO SALES, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS IS UNABLE TO INDEPENDENTLY VERIFY THE AUTHENTICITY, CONTENT, LOCATION OR DATE OF THIS HANDOUT PHOTOAP - Russia's government has indicated that it would not oppose a U.N. Security Council resolution condemning the violence in Syria.
