A U.N.-brokered deal to evacuate more than 2,000 Islamic State fighters and other militants from rebel-held suburbs of Damascus on Saturday has been delayed after the killing of an insurgent leader, an organization that monitors the Syrian war said.
The United Nations said it aimed to convene peace talks in Geneva on Jan. 25 to try to end nearly five years of civil war and it appealed to the warring parties not to allow events on the ground to derail the process.
The evacuation from Damascus had been expected to take place early on Saturday but was delayed as there was now no secure territory for the militants to pass through, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an independent British-based monitoring group that tracks violence across Syria.
Buses were due to transport the fighters to Raqqa, the de facto capital of Islamic State in northern Syria, Lebanese Hezbollah's Manar TV station said. But it fell through after the Jaysh al Islam rebel group's leader Zahran Alloush - through whose territory the convoy had been granted safe passage - was killed in an air strike on Friday, Manar said.

Get them on the busses and let the Russians cluster bomb them into pink jelly.

Where was the UN when they were murdering civilians by the town full?
Put the blue helmet on the buses also. Get a two for one. Thank you Putin
Might be a good time to get out of Damascus, while the getting is good.
Good plan.

I can see Assad and Vlad wanting to get them clear of Damascus before Vlad tests his ‘modern weapons’ on them. Lot of collateral damage even from a tactical nuke.
They can’t walk? Let them hitch hike...
I say exterminate the cockroaches.
Yeah, that’s about the size of it.
Big busses make excellent targets. The idiot UN people should get free passes to ride along.
Why the heck is the UN helping ISIS, they are not a state, break the Geneva Convention and do not wear uniforms.
According to the law, they only help they should get is a firing squad to help they meet Allah.
I'm guessing Obama is trying to salvage his investment in ISIL.
But the pentagon says Russia isn’t targeting ISIS!
Because the UN has been Islamicised.
Mr. niteowl77
Is our pentagon saying that, or is it the North Africa Terrorist Organization (i.e. NATO)?

So is Obama and reportedly our CIA director.
My question is, why isn't our FBI investigating and making arrests for this administration's Subversive Activity?!
And all this time, the media has been saying there are good Islamist rebels, who are distinct from ISIS.
