A suicide bombing tore through the capital city of Damacus today, and Syria’s Interior Ministry puts the final toll at 26 slain and 63 wounded. They reported that as many as 15 of the slain were unidentifiable because they were so close to the blast site.
The attack happened near an elementary school in central Damascus, when a suicide bomber blew himself up in an intersection of a crowded residential area. Footage of the aftermath was played on state media, which reported the vast majority of the casualties were innocent civilians.
At the same time, opposition officials were quick to blame the regime for the attack, with one saying that the Syrian government had secretly set up camera crews around the site beforehand and launched the attack themselves.
It is the second major suicide bombing attack in the past few weeks in Damascus, with a previous strike on December 23 targeting the General Intelligence Agency headquarters and killing at least 44.
Of course what you leave out — surprise surprise — is the most interesting and telling part. The target of the blast was…a police bus! http://www.dawn.com/2012/01/06/suicide-blast-targ…
So to back up your insinuation that it was the regime who exploded the bomb you leave out the most important information about the attack…its target. Selective "reporting" leaving out any fact that might contradict your uninformed conclusion.
If this is not dirty propaganda by antiwar.com I don't know what is.
I thought it was the "Al-Qaeda" elements now in favor by the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia for regime change operations, ala Libya
It is only troofers like Giraldi, Schauer, Porter, Ditz and Horton who are these days are still trying to tell us that al Qaeda was not financed by the Saudi's and the CIA. Evertone else has managed finally to spot the seamless move from Afghanistan to Yugoslavia to Libya as being financed by one hand over 30 years.
Yeah, trust Jason and Scott ably assisted by your merry band of troofers Giraldi, Porter and McGovern. Reporting like this reminds you of Pravda except that today Pravda is a much better source of info.
