ISTANBUL - The opposition Syrian National Council called on Monday for military intervention by Arab and Western governments to protect civilians from President Bashar Assad's forces.
George Sabra, a spokesman for the broad-based SNC, said the opposition wanted humanitarian corridors, safe zones and a no-fly zone to be set up to stop attacks by Assad forces, adding that the SNC had taken a decision to help arm the rebel Free Syrian Army.
