Arab League: U.N. Security Council talks put pressure on Syria

Even a watered-down U.N. Security Council resolution will put pressure on the Syrian government, Arab League Secretary General Nabil Elaraby told CNN Thursday, ahead of renewed talks at the United Nations.

His comments came a day after private discussions by Security Council members about a draft resolution on Syria ended with major differences still apparent but with participants expressing some optimism that an agreement could be reached.

Meanwhile, at least 70 people were killed across Syria Wednesday, opposition activists said, with more violence reported Thursday.
