RIYADH (Reuters) - Gulf Arab states said on Thursday that a Russian proposal to place Syria's chemical weapons under international control with the aim of averting a U.S. strike would not end the bloodshed in Syria.

The Sunni Muslim-led Gulf Cooperation Council, which comprises Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Oman alongside the current chairman Bahrain, is a main backer of rebels fighting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
