GENEVA: Syria will retaliate following the deadly suicide assault in its third city Homs on Saturday, the Damascus regime's envoy to UN-sponsored peace talks in Geneva said.
"The terrorist attacks that targeted Homs today were a clear message from the sponsors of terrorism to Geneva," said Bashar al-Jaafari.
