Rebels, jehadists agree truce as Syria seeks ceasefire

Published on: 

Syrian rebels have agreed a truce with jehadists after clashes for a key border town, an NGO said on Friday as a senior official said Damascus wanted a ceasefire in Syria’s wider conflict.

A deadline for the Syrian regime to hand over a list of its banned chemical weapons was also fast approaching. Iranian President Hassan Rowhani, meanwhile, offered to broker talks between the opposition and the Islamic republic’s Government allies in Damascus.
