US forces in the region are “ready to go”, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said, as Washington and its European and Middle Eastern partners honed plans to punish Assad for a major poison gas attack last week that killed hundreds of civilians. Several sources who attended a meeting in Istanbul on Monday between Syrian opposition leaders and diplomats from Washington and other governments said that the rebels were told to expect military action and to get ready to negotiate a peace. “The opposition was told in clear terms that action to deter further use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime could come as early as in the next few days, and that they should still prepare for peace talks at Geneva,” one of the sources said. Ahmad Jarba, president of the Syrian National Coalition, met envoys from 11 states in the Friends of Syria group, including Robert Ford, the US ambassador to Syria, at an Istanbul hotel. United Nations chemical weapons investigators, who finally crossed the frontline to take samples on Monday, put off a second trip to rebel-held suburbs of Damascus.

    Late City Edition Thursday 19th August, 2010 Randiv banned and fined, Dilshan loses match fee Under fire Sri Lanka take on New Zealand today have one win each, but both tourists have won with the bonus points contrary to Sri Lanka’s win without the bonus point. New Zealand are mindful that Sri Lanka have been dis- tracted in the last few days due to the no ball controversy. Their captain Ross Taylor also reminded that after Sri Lanka played two games in a row they will be a bit tired. “The Sri Lankans played two games in a row which has been tough and shows that the team that has played a couple of games in a row usually doesn’t win. I guess they will be a bit tired after the tough series against India. I guess that is an area where we will exploit,” Taylor said. With Randiv banned, Sri Lanka could opt for left-arm spinner Rangana Herath. Ajantha Mendis too could get a game as the New Zealanders have seen very little of him.

A defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the US Navy would expand its presence in the Mediterranean to four destroyers from three. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, en route to Asia, said Obama had asked the Pentagon for options on Syria, where an apparent chemical weapons attack that killed as many as 1,000 civilians has upped pressure on Washington to respond. “The Defense Department has responsibility to provide the president with options for all contingencies,” Hagel said. “And that requires posi- tioning our forces, positioning our assets, to be able to carry out different options - whatever options the presi- dent might choose.” He did not elaborate. The defense official, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said the USS Mahan, a destroyer armed with cruise missiles, had finished its deployment and was due to head back to its home base in Norfolk, Virginia.
