At least 54 people were killed today when a minibus packed with explosives detonated at a bus stop next to a Syrian military supply factory in Buraq, a suburb of Hama. The slain are all civilians, mostly workers at the factory.
Both Syrian state media and rebel sources were quick to condemn the attack, with one rebel outlet noting that the factory did not make weapons, but rather made other supplies for the Syrian Defense Ministry.
No group has yet claimed responsibility, but the general consensus is that it is one of the Islamist factions in the rebel movement, with the al-Nusra Front seen as a likely culprit given their past use of similar tactics.
This has sparked a backlash against the Islamists, particularly since 11 of the workers were women. Though rebels regularly attack government-held areas, and government-run buildings, the huge civilian toll is not sitting well with many of the more moderate factions.
Now, the dumb "free syrian army" accuses Assad and the dumb "progressives" including "informed comment" and "northstar", CIA agents, spin the new in support of the terrorists to keep the sheeples in.
Fifty four innocent people are dead. Where is an outcry for the slain? Where is the outrage of the "Free World"?
It takes the real courage to do this! This is how Salafis operate. Kill innocents, and kill as much as possible. And cause as much mayham, chaos and fear. And fanatically believe that they are dispatching them to God for their own good — and as a daily reminder to others to be scared. To be really scared. There will be no outrage among the "humanitarians" in the West. West is still hoping these murderous fantatics will win! Are we still helping them with the monthy salary, communications gear, ammunition? Somebody is. Perhaps our "friends" the Saudis, and their Gulf mini kingdoms? That is, after we sold the stuff to them.
Oh, what a tangled web we weave…
