Updated at 2 p.m. ET (AP) MOSCOW – A prominent Syrian opposition leader said Wednesday that Russia’s resistance to international intervention in the conflict was bringing misery and “suffering” to the violence-torn country. Two Syrian opposition delegations visited Moscow this week, raising hopes that Russia could be pushed to accept the ouster of Syrian President Bashar Assad. But Syrian National Council head Abdelbaset Sieda said he saw “no change” in Moscow’s stance after meeting with officials including Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. “The Syrian people are suffering because of Russia, because of the position it has taken, because of its veto in the U.N. Security Council,” Sieda said at a news conference. “The current regime uses Russian weapons against its own people.” Special Section: The Arab SpringAnnan: Syria plan to focus on most violent areasAnnan: Iran “part of the solution” in Syria More than 17,000 people have been killed since the uprising against Assad began in March 2011, according to Syrian activists.

Thousands of daredevil runners charged ahead of six fighting bulls let loose for the annual San Fermin festival, and the three were gored by one that broke free from the pack just before entering the city’s bullring, a Navarre regional government statement said. Aryeh Deutsch, a 38-year-old who has participated in dozens of bull runs at Pamplona, said he tripped and fell amid a crowd of runners as he dashed ahead of the black bull and saw the animal heading toward him as he lay on the ground. “The next thing I know I am underneath him, I can see his belly and I was trying to roll out of the way to get under the fence and yeah he got me, he got me in the right calf,” said Deutsch, an engineer from Cherry Hill, New Jersey. Deutsch didn’t realize at first that he had been gored but got behind the fence when he saw the bull turn around instead of heading toward the ring. It then charged other runners huddled on the ground near the fence, 춘천출장만남 trying to protect themselves from the beast. That’s when the two Britons were gored. After several tense moments,...
