Mid- East: Battle Continues between Syrian Kurds and Assad Forces

Syrian government officials arrived Friday in the Kurdish-controlled city of Qamishli to try to negotiate a cease-fire between Kurdish fighters and mainly Arab pro-Assad militiamen after the heaviest fighting in more than two years broke out this week. Sources tell VOA's Zana Omar the battle intensified after Kurdish forces took over a government-held prison in the city. Robert Raffaele narrates his report.
