Syrian regime forces carried out raids on several areas in the country, targeting mainly the besieged town of Douma, causing the deaths of at least 13 civilians, according to Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The raids continued despite the United Nations confirmation a few days earlier that Moscow formally asked its ally Damascus to stop launching strikes during the Geneva negotiations, which began earlier in the week. / AFP / Sameer Al-Doumy        (Photo credit should read SAMEER AL-DOUMY/AFP/Getty Images)
