UN Secretary General Pleads for Security Council Action

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon said in Abu Dhabi Monday that he hopes "the UN Security Council handles Syria in a coherent manner and with a sense of gravity."

"The casualties have reached such an unacceptable stage we cannot let the situation continue this way," he added.

These statements come a day after he implored Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to "stop the massacre of his people."
