The Syrian National Coalition’s opposition council said Sunday that it will not attend the Geneva II peace talks aiming finding a solution for the Syrian crisis adding that it will quit the National Coalition if it participated, council president George Sabra told AFP. “The Syrian National Council, which is the biggest bloc in the Coalition, has taken the firm decision, not to go to Geneva, under the current circumstances on the ground,” said. The international community, led by Russia and the United States, has been pushing for the Syrian regime and rebels to attend a peace conference dubbed Geneva 2 to find a political solution to the conflict. The proposed meeting has been delayed for months, but Washington and Moscow are now talking about a potential mid-November date for the talks. On the international level, US Secretary of State John Kerry will be holding talks with the UN envoy to Syria Akhdar Ibrahimi in London concerning the Syrian crisis. 7 Red Cross workers kidnapped Gunmen kidnapped a team of seven workers from the International Committee of the Red Cross after stopping their convoy early Sunday along a roadside in northern Syria, a spokesman said. Simon Schorno, a spokesman for the ICRC in Damascus, said the abduction took place near the town of Saraqeb in Idlib province around 11:30 a.m. local time (0830 GMT) as they team was returning to Damascus. Six of the people kidnapped are ICRC staff workers and one is a volunteer from the Syrian Red Crescent, he said. Schorno declined to provide the nationalities of the six ICRC employees. Syria's state news agency, quoting an anonymous official, said the gunmen opened fire on the ICRC team's four vehicles before seizing the Red Cross workers. The news agency blamed "terrorists," a term the government uses to refer to those opposed to President Bashar Assad. Schorno said the team of seven had been in the field since Oct. 10 to assess the medical situation in the area and to look at how to provide medical aid. He said the part of northern Syria where they were seized "by definition is a difficult area to go in." Much of the countryside in Idlib province, as well as the rest of northern Syria, has fallen into the hands of rebels over the past year, and kidnappings have become rife, particularly of aid workers and foreign journalists. On the ground: Syria's official news agency says two bombs have exploded near the state television building in central Damascus. The SANA news agency says state TV's headquarters in Umayyad Square was damaged in the blast, but there was no immediate word on casualties. The news agency says initial information indicated that the explosions Sunday evening were the result of a double car bombing. This as an activist group says shelling by Syrian regime forces has killed at least 11 people, including women and children, in a southern city.
