On August 14, Maan News headlined "Libyan fighters join Syrian revolt against Assad," saying:

Elements involved in ousting Gaddafi arrived in Syria. Hussam Najjar heads one unit. He said "he was surprised to find how poorly armed and disorganized" they are. He was "shocked," he said.

Later more powerful weapons were supplied. Disorganization remains serious. Insurgents are "scattered here, there and everywhere." They're no match for superior Syrian forces.

On August 14, SANA state media headlined "Authorities Arrest Dozens of Terrorists in Aleppo, Destroy 7 Cars Equipped with DShK Machineguns," saying:

Insurgents were captured in Aleppo's al-Bab area. Others were killed or injured in other parts of Aleppo. In Daraa, terrorists assassinated Ma'moun al-al-Zoubi. He served as city Assistant Director of the Health Directorate.

Civil servants and other state employees are vulnerable. So are journalists reporting accurately on the ground. They're targeted to silence them. SANA state media is repeatedly hacked. 

Washington and allies only want their own message disseminated. It reflects imperialism's ugly face. Accurate full disclosure is suppressed. Truth defeats their agenda.

On August 14, Russia Today reported that Russian Foreign Ministry Deputy Director Maria Zakharova condemned "terrorist attacks against journalists."
