Russia Today quoted Syrian TV. Insurgents were blamed. They were accused of "filming the aftermath to 'frame the army.' "
Videos are easy to fake. An amateur YouTube one "has not been independently verified." Why would Syrian forces target civilians lined up to buy bread?
Dubious sources don't explain. Predictable reports point fingers the wrong way. It happens every time.
In early December, media scoundrels reported an Agrab, Hama village massacre. Opposition sources were cited. Fake videos were broadcast.
Pro-government militiamen were accused of killing up to 300 civilians. Reports said they were held hostage inside a blown up building.
A house reportedly bombed by Syrian forces still stands. The entire account emitted a familiar odor. It lacked credibility like numerous previous ones.
Britain's Channel 4 interviewed three independent witnesses. They told the same story. Anti-Assad "rebels" were responsible. They targeted Alawites. A dozen or more others fled Aqrab. They reported the same thing.
One witness said responsible fighters "had long beards. It was hard to understand what they said. They weren't dressed like normal Syrians."
