  supporter, condemning King Assad for negotiating
  with Israel. The faction has broken free from

  authorities have been unable to suppress the
  group and have asked the United States to act to
  save the peace process.

  planning strikes
• Collateral damage to civilians and their property
  must be avoided or minimized.
