AFP , Monday 19 Dec 2011

Arab League chief Nabil El-Arabi said on Monday that an advance team of observers would head to Damascus within 72 hours, after Syria inked a deal to end nine months of bloodshed. "Within two or three days, an advance team of observers headed by Arab League Assistant Secretary General Samir Seif al-Yazal, including security, legal and administrative observers, will be sent," Arabi told reporters.

He said other teams, including human rights experts, would follow.
