Emir of Qatar favors Arab troops in Syria - CBS News
The emir of Qatar,
Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al Thani, says that Arab troops should be deployed to Syria to stop the killing there that, so far, has claimed the lives of some 5,000 Syrians since unrest began in the country nearly a year ago. The leader of Qatar speaks to Bob Simon for a "60 Minutes" interview to be broadcast Sunday, Jan. 15 at 7 p.m. ET/PT.
Simon asks: "Would you be in favor of Arab nations intervening in Syria?" The emir, the first Arab leader to publically suggest sending troops answers, "For such a situation to stop the killing...some troops should go to stop the killing."
