With the Syrian capital of Damascus still reeling from a massive terror attack which killed 70, Free Syrian Army (FSA) commander Col. Riad al-Assad is threatening to launch even more attacks against targets inside Syria, insisting that his supporters are demanding it, and that the regime is violating the ceasefire.
The threat by the FSA chief to violate the ceasefire even more than his group already is didn’t appear to phase anyone, and Syrian troops in the contested north shrugged off the comments, saying that rebels are attacking them every single day as it is.
The FSA is composed in large measure of defectors from the Syrian military, and has fought the military in a number of major battles, particularly in the city of Homs. They have stalled a few times, claiming to be running out of ammo, while pushing for more Western backing.
Today marks the fourth week since the UN brokered ceasefire began. Both sides have been blaming one another for violating the ceasefire virtually every day since then, and both seem to be correct in that assessment. Though violence is at least somewhat down on average since the ceasefire began, Western officials have been pushing for the plan to be scrapped, with a suggestion that invading the nation and propping up the rebels would be a good alternative.
We haven't heard too much out of the blasted shell that is Libya have we? How's that going now?
Uh huh…. Thought so.
We haven't heard because the prostitutes that call themselves journalists have kept silent for the most part. Of course they have to please their pimps, the politicians.
If there is any kind of democracy exist in Saudi Arabia or for that matter in UAE then these people called "rebeles" are also democrat as much as Hillary Clinton is. If the US democratic party and its leaders would only knew about the principals in democracy there wouldent be any democrat senators making money while "serving" the American people, nor the Saudis or UAE kingdome familiy.
Rebel chief Riad al-Asaad 'threatens new Syria attacks'
Well Mr. rebel chief is the obvious target for drone attack in the fame of the war on terror which US and the NATO fight globally. We have to just find out his hideout. Ughh, he is hiding in NATO's own Turkey! That Turkey which for forty years sends its military jets to kill their own Kurdish REBELS everywhere – even in other countries. UGHH, allies from War-On-Terror are paying Mr. Rebel Chief his rent and bombs? Does anybody understand this?
