League to discuss Arab troop deployment in Syria

Arab League foreign ministers are due to meet on January 22 to discuss the findings of monitors sent to Syria , Egypt's Middle East News Agency said. The Arab League monitors are due to complete on January 19 a report on the situation in Syria and see if Basha Al Assad has implemented the plan mapped out by the league late last year. An Arab League committee on Syria, led by Qatar, will discuss the report on January 21, but only a full meeting of the 22-member body's foreign ministers can decide whether to end, extend or beef up the mission.    Talks will also focus on whether Arab troops will need to be deployed to Syria in order to put an end to the 10 month long bloodshed.
