BEIRUT, Feb 2 (Reuters) - Foreign Minister Nasser
Judeh said on Thursday Jordan had withdrawn its monitors from
the Arab League mission to Syria, saying the decision was taken
several days ago when the work of the monitors was suspended.
"There is no mission and we withdrew in conformity with the
Arab League decision," Judeh told Reuters. The Arab League said
on Saturday it had suspended its mission in Syria due to rising
violence, but has yet to formally declare the mission over.
