DEIR BAALBAH, Syria, Dec. 31 (UPI) -- Another 100,000 people could die in 2013 in the fighting in Syria, U.N.-Arab League envoy Lakhdar Brahimi said.

A "solution is possible" in the 21-month-old conflict but it is getting more complicated and deadly, Brahimi said Sunday in Cairo.

"If nearly 50,000 people have been killed in about two years, do not expect just 25,000 people to die next year -- maybe 100,000 will die," he said. "The pace is increasing.

CNN reported that Saturday may have been the deadliest day yet in the war.

The Local Coordination Committees -- a group opposing Syrian President Bashar Assad -- said more than 200 people were executed in a field by soldiers in Deir Baalbah, a suburb of Homs.
