Syrian warplanes struck a gas station in the Damascus suburb of Mulelha today, killing at least 30 people according to witnesses at the site. The cause of the strike was unclear, as Mulelha is not generally a rebel stronghold, and has not been targeted in the past.
Syrian state media has yet to comment on the incident at all, while rebels have reported dramatically higher death tolls, with some reporting over 70 dead and scores of others wounded in a single missile strike.
It is difficult to break down the exact tolls of dead and wounded, particularly when an explosion scatters destruction across a fairly wide area, but the station was believed to have just received a shipment of petrol before the strike, making it particularly crowded with drivers.
Some rebel statements also claimed that the majority of the slain were children, though why there would be such a large number of children around a crowded petrol station is unclear, and other statements made no such claims.
Wow. Clinging to "rebel statements" and BBC again are we?
Non of this has been proven to be true before Ditz so there is no reason to be jumping up and down now either…
If it was however, a gas station occupied by a number of fanatical armed-to-the-teeth-mercenaries, their vehicles and whatever military perversities USA has provided them, is a perfect target for the Syrian national army…
It looked like a car bomb blast in a busy area. The rebels have to do something to keep the "war" alive in western press. Murder of civilians they PUBLISH regularly on internet, but they know the western press will shield them. This is why they hate Russian TV. Their feats have been shown, like shooting ten prisoners while they begged for life. Or teaching a ten year old how to behead a man. And gruesome chemical experiments on rabbits. Why the press did not publish the kidnapping of reporters? Because of the same reason everybody lied how safe Libya is — until Benghazi. The "rebels" are supposed to be "good guys"! Now that we proclamed them to be the "legitimate representatives of Syrian people" — we have no choice but to lie for them.
Long ago the "rebels" killed postmen, firemen, teachers, principals, garbage collectors, etc — and we were silent. Now, we have to cover up for them till dear end. We hope they win outright, so we can set up another farsical Hague tribunal to charge those defending themselves, and absove agressors of all these crimes — thereby absolving ourselves and our lies.
Ditz….
Pretend that you're an idiot (perhaps no "pretending" is necessary in this 'case'), and you wanted to make a big explosion (a 'big boom' if you will) and didn't really know how…where would be a good place to do this? A gas/"petrol" station, perhaps?
Also, seeing as "diesel" and "gasoline" are in short supply, and "people" are mad about that, if you were an idiot terrorist–one who most likely did this–making a gas station go "boom" would seem, to an idiot, to 'kill two birds with one stone'–so to speak…
This is not the first time a "petrol" station has allegedly been bombed, and I am seeing a pattern here with "petrol" stations and supposed "bread lines" being "bombed" at convenient times….
This is obviously the work of the 'terrorists' Ditz…you would have to be a complete fool to conclude otherwise…so why keep 'reporting' this obvious propaganda in the first place–at least without explaining all this 'context' as well?
