Syria briefs UNSC on new ‘terrorist crime’ against citizens

 DAMASCUS,(ST)_Syria restates  in a new letter sent to the UN Security Council need for blasting terrorism wherever to prevent its spread .

SANA reported that Expatriates and Foreign Ministry addressed on Tuesday two identical letters to the International Security Council’s Head and the UN Secretary General about a new terrorist attack perpetrated by the blacklisted al-Qaeda- linked Jabhat al-Nusra against citizens in Salamieh city in Hama province.

The terrorist crime caused the death of at least 32 citizens, leaving more others, including women and children, wounded and destroyed the national hospital in the city.

“It comes in revenge on Salamieh city’s citizens who refused terrorism and insisted on preserving their city’s security,” the letters read, noting that this terrorist act is not the first in this city.

Other cities in Syria, as the FM says, have witnessed more terrorist attacks. One of them targeted a school in Nawa city (in Daraa) where the terrorists attacked the school and stole diesel oil which was being used to heat students’ classes.

“Throughout the 2013 school year, the terrorists have threatened to target all Syrian schools because they want education process to be stopped,” the FM said, stressing that the terrorist groups are proud of using children to carry out heinous terrorist acts.

Turkey’s involvement

The FM underscored that Syria, once again, reminds that these terrorists, who boast of not having identity and nationality, are infiltrating from the neighboring countries, particularly from Turkey, via borders.

“Turkey has opened its borders to all terrorists to enter Syria without conditions, and the Turkish government is providing them with weapons, which they are using in their terrorist attacks against the Syrian people,” the letters read.

No denouncement!!

It added that the terrorist acts and those who are supporting them are governed by the relevant UN resolutions as regards combatting terrorism, stressing that not implementing the resolutions means a decision to spread terrorism and foil the UNSC efforts to combat it.

The FM appealed to the UNSC to denounce  the terrorist acts not only in Syria but also all over the world. In addition, it called upon countries that hinder the UNSC from performing its tasks to reconsider their stances that do not serve security and stability in Syria and the whole world as well.
