Outgoing UN mission chief: Assad's fall only matter of time

OSLO - It is just a matter of time before the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad falls, General Robert Mood, outgoing head of the UN monitoring mission in Syria, said on Friday.
"In my opinion it is only a matter of time before a regime that is using such heavy military power and disproportional violence against the civilian population is going to fall," the Norwegian general, who left Damascus on July 19, told Reuters.
