DUBAI - Arab League monitors made "mistakes" in Syria during a mission to investigate a crackdown on nine months of anti-government protests, Kuwait's state news agency quoted the prime minister of Qatar as saying, without elaborating."This is the first experience for us ... and I said we must evaluate the types of mistakes it (the mission) made and without a shadow of a doubt I see mistakes, even though we went in (to Syria) to observe, not to stop the violence," said Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani after a meeting with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon in New York.Sheikh Hamad, who also chairs an Arab League taskforce on Syria, did not elaborate on the "mistakes", but said he was seeking "technical help" from the UN
