Lakhdar Brahimi, the U.N.-Arab League envoy for Syria, said the government and some rebel leaders have agreed to a four-day truce starting Friday during the Muslim Eid al-Adha holiday.

But the Syrian government denied coming to a decision, stating that it is still studying the proposal. Jabhat al-Nusra, an extremist group that has joined the effort to topple President Bashar Assad, also rejected the truce.

"There will be no truce between us and the prideful regime and shedder of the blood of Muslims," the group said in a written statement posted Wednesday on militant websites. "We are not among those who allow the wily to trick us, nor are we ones who will accept to play these filthy games."

While the group is on the extreme edge of the rebel groups fighting in Syria, it also expressed a sentiment most of them share: that after 19 months of deadly violence, there is little faith that Assad's regime will abide by any agreement.

All diplomatic efforts have failed to stop the violence in Syria, which has left more than 34,000 people dead, according to activists.
