BEIRUT (AP) A Syrian activist group says gunmen have shot and killed a government official in a Damascus restaurant. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says Ali Ballan, head of public relations at the Ministry of Social Affairs and a member of Syria's relief agency was killed late Thursday. The group, which relies on a network of activists in Syria, said the shooting occurred in the western neighborhood of Mazzeh. It gave no further details Friday. Damascus has witnessed a number of assassinations since the country's crisis began in March 2011. Last month, a suicide bomb killed top Sunni Muslim preacher Sheikh Mohammad Said Ramadan al-Buti in a Damascus mosque. On July 18, a bomb inside a high-level crisis meeting in Damascus killed top security officials, including the defense minister. Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

By BAMAKO and Mali, Associated Press Mali's interim president is seeking to reassure international partners that the country will be ready to hold democratic elections by July as promised even though it is fighting a war against radical Islamic fighters. President Dioncounda Traore made the comments before a meeting Friday in the capital that included representatives from the United Nations, the European Union and the African Union. Traore says that with the support of Mali's friends, the West African country should be able to hold elections on time. Critics have questioned how Mali will be able to hold such a vote given the fact that hundreds of thousands were displaced by turmoil since March 2012. Security remains a key concern, especially in the northern cities of Gao, Kidal and Timbuktu. Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
