The message, more than five minutes long, was posted online on militant websites. Its authenticity could not be independently verified by CNN.

In the message, Zawahiri calls upon all jihadi factions to end the infighting.

"Our hearts are bleeding, the heart of our Islamic nation is bleeding when we see the internal strife among the mujahedeen in Syria."

Conference Seeking Out End to War – Update: “Not a lot, if any, conciliation coming from the Syrian government side"

World leaders gathered this morning at a conference in Switzerland that has been billed as possibly the best chance for ending the war in Syria.

It is the first time the Assad regime and opposition will meet face-to-face with officials from dozens of other countries.

But it’s notable who is not there- Iran- and there are real questions if the conference will accomplish anything at all. Based on Nic Robertson’s update, things do not seem promising:

“Not a lot, if any, conciliation coming from the Syrian government side. Then we heard from Secretary of State John Kerry unequivocally, and very clearly, say that Bashar al-Assad cannot be any part of this process going forward.”  

WATCH VIDEO ABOVE.

New Mexico School Shooting: 911 Calls Released

Berrendo Middle School in Roswell, New Mexico, re-opens today.

This happens as we're hearing , for the first time , the 911 calls from inside the school that describe the terrifying moments after police say a 12-year-old opened fire and severely wounded two classmates.

A law enforcement source tells CNN the shooter had a journal at home that described his plans.

And the source says the boy told some students in the gym to get out before he fired his sawed off shotgun.

The motive is still not clear.

The parents of the boy say the incident has left them heartbroken.

And they offered condolences to the families of the victims.

Today, counselors will be on site at the school to help.

See Car Fly Off Overpass

In Minnesota, a scary car accident is  caught on camera.

Take a look above  as a truck flies off a bridge, just north of Minneapolis.

It landed near the southbound lanes of interstate 35, and narrowly avoided being hit by oncoming traffic.

But amazingly, the driver survived!

Authorities say the road was very icy at the time of the accident.
