The visiting UN peacekeeping chiefHerve Ladsous on Monday warned here of the presence of terroristgroups in Syria, who are trying to capitalize on the current unrestto achieve certain gains. "We know that there are ... a third party, terrorist groups, whoare trying to gain advantage for themselves... but we have to seethis as an issue within Syria, between the Syrians," he said duringa press conference in Damascus. "These people are not committed to the cause of the Syrianpeople.. They are committed to their own agenda... So we have tokeep a watchful eye but what we are dealing with and what we mustdeal with is the issue between the Syrians themselves," he said. "We do know that there had been terrorist attacks and bombings andthat is something to be taken very seriously," he added. "Anyfurther militarization of the crisis is not to be accepted.. it'sa crisis between the Syrians and there is no justification infueling the fire." Ladsous said that main objective of his visit to Syria is toexamine the deployment of the UN Supervision Mission in Syria,adding that he has been "very pleased by the rapidity by which theyhave been deployed." He noted that the number of UN military observers is now 270,adding that they are now deployed in six cities and soon they willbe deployed in 10 cities. "I am not saying that the violence ceased altogether but clearly itdiminished," he said, adding that he had met with the governmentand the opposition in Syria. He said the job of the UN observers aims also to work on the issueof the detainees and to gain access to the prisons. "We simply donot know how many people are detained." Ladsous said there are still some unresolved issues, stressing,however, that the Syrian government has confirmed its commitment toAnnan's six-point plan. "I think it's necessary to talk to all those who are involved,about how to get further towards a peaceful solution and how tostop violence," he said. For his part, head of the UN observer mission Maj-Gen Robert Moodsaid He is sending Ladsous back to New York "with a differentunderstanding of what Syria is about.".
