Assad's forces enter Zabadani after ceasefire-leader

AMMAN, Feb 11 (Reuters) - President Bashar al-Assad's

forces entered the besieged town of Zabadani near the border

with Lebanon on Saturday after agreeing a ceasefire with rebels,

an opposition leader in exile, Kamal al-Labwani, said.

The agreement, reached after a week-long tank and artillery

bombardment that left at least 100 people dead in the town of

20,000, stipulates that rebels return weapons and armour seized

from loyalist forces, who would not pursue the rebels, Labwani

told Reuters.
