BEIRUT (AP) — U.S. officials say the United States and Russia have agreed on a plan that would create a cease-fire in Syria starting Saturday.
The officials said Monday that the two sides have agreed on the terms and conditions for the “cessation of hostilities,” as they call it.
The truce excludes attacks on the Islamic State group and the Nusra Front, al-Qaida’s local affiliate.
An announcement is expected after Presidents Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin speak on the matter by telephone.
The officials weren’t authorized to speak about the matter publicly and demanded anonymity.
