Terrorism has no rules, geography nor identity. A terrorist who is ready to blow himself up, either with an explosive belt or a booby-trapped car, as to kill other human beings is the same terrorist who eats other human beings’ flesh and body parts. This is the same terrorist who would fire a chemical-gas-equipped missile to kill civilians en masse. This is exactly what happened in Damascus Countryside yesterday. A prefabricated terrorist attack by al-Qaeda affiliates and Bandar of Saudi Arabia .
“It draws attention to the fact that biased regional media have immediately, as if on command, begun an aggressive information attack, laying all the responsibility on the government,” The Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman, Aleksandr Lukashevich stated.
“A homemade rocket with a poisonous substance that has not been identified yet – one similar to the rocket used by terrorists on March 19 in Khan al-Assal – was fired early on August 21 at Damascus suburbs from a position occupied by the insurgents,” Lukashevich added.
The Russian diplomat stated that it seems as though it was “a provocation planned in advance.” The “criminal action” near Damascus coincided with the beginning of UN experts’ work in Syria – which speaks in favor of such a conclusion.
The accusations against the guardians of Syria to launch such a heinous, terrorist attack are indeed “utterly baseless”, “untrue and fabricated as to cover up the humiliating defeat of the foreign-backed terrorists in Syria
The terrorists’ exposed dirty game against the Syrians was expected and quickly foiled. Even the U.N. Security Council said it was necessary to clarify an alleged chemical weapons attack. The allegations aimed but at blackmailing the UN and aborting its chemical experts team mission and derailing the convening of the Russia-US proposed Geneva 2 meeting.
Syria has indeed clear-cut evidence, as Minister of Information Mr. Omran al-Zoubi outlined, on the use of chemical weapons by the armed terrorist groups through eyewitnesses, soil and air samples. The Syrian state did not and will not use chemical weapons –if existed- under any circumstances, and Syria is definitely to win over terrorism exported to Syria from 83 states, including all Arab states except for Djibouti.
