Russia: Information Confirm That Victims of al-Houla Massacre Were Not Killed by Artillery Fire

MOSCOW, (SANA) – Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov on Sunday called for waiting for the results of deep and objective investigation into the tragic incident that took place in al-Houla in Homs countryside and the deductions of the international observers in Syria, since there is information proving that the victims were not killed by artillery fire.

On his Twitter feed, Gatilov said that there’s news indicating that the wounds inflicted upon many of the victims of al-Houla massacre are not the result of artillery fire, therefore one must wait for objective evaluation from the international observers.

He stressed that the tragic events in al-Houla and the murder of scores are worthy of condemnation, but there serious efforts must be made to found out the reasons for what happened.

Meanwhile in New York, Russia’s Permanent Representative at the UN Igor Pankin questioned the allegations that the Syrian armed forces are responsible for al-Houla massacre.

In statements at the beginning of the UN Security Council session on developments in Syria, which convened upon Russia’s request, Pankin said that most victims in al-Houla were killed by bladed weapons or executed from close range, which contradicts the allegations that the victims were killed by artillery fire.

He added that the number of victims is inconsistent with the destruction witnessed in the area.

Many of these individuals are admittedly al-Qaeda, much like the Libyan “rebels” who, after taking power with the help of NATO, immediately began restricting freedoms and slaughtering black Libyans. Indeed, a sizable portion of these terrorists have actually traveled from Libya to Syria, with some working from across the borders of Turkey, Jordan, and Lebanon … [more]

SYRIA: The West Undermines UN Monitors. Paves the Way for NATO Intervention

Western propagandists unanimously defer to “activists” despite hundreds of UN monitors on the ground in Syria.

by Tony Cartalucci

Reports this week of the Syrian military “slaughtering civilians” near Homs have been reported relentlessly by Western media outlets, citing solely “activists” who have been consistently exposed as manipulating and purposefully distorting the reality on the ground in Syria. After episodes including “Gay Girl in Damascus,” who turned out to be in fact a “middle-aged American man in Scotland,” and “Syrian Danny” who was caught directing fake gunfire before a staged “casualty report” given to CNN’s Anderson Cooper, the word of “activists” in Syria, openly sympathetic to the Free Syrian Army, is clearly less than credible … [more]
