DAMASCUS, (ST)_ 9 men, 3 children and a woman were assassinated today by armed terrorists groups near Hawwa Mosque in Ali Bin Abi Taleb Street in Doma , in Damascus countryside, a source in the governorate told SANA .
The source added, that the massacre took place, where terrorists of the so called “banner of Islam” , led by the terrorist Zahran Alloush, are deployed.
The number of the civilians killed by the foreign-backed armed terrorist groups reached to 25, in a new death toll, according to the inhabitants of the attacked area.
Ministry of Information asserted that the terrorists’ perpetration of massacres and crimes against the Syrians coincide usually with the convening of a UN Security council session to debate the situation in Syria.
”The concomitance of the terrorists’ perpetrated massacres is a continued crime in implementation for political agendas,” the Ministry added in a statement broadcast by Syrian TV.
The UN Security Council is expected to be convened today and to be briefed by the UN Envoy, Lakhdar Ibrahim’s’ about his recent mission to Syria and the region countries.
The Ministry underscored, in a statement, that there were some countries well-known for their support to terrorism, which would classify them along with the terrorists against the international resolutions related to combating terrorism.
Foreign and Expatriates Ministry, in a letter to UN Security Council President and UN Secretary General, blasted the crimes perpetrated by the armed terrorist groups and the grave violations of international law and human rights law by these terrorist groups and their backers in the shedding of the Syrian blood, in a frequent and repeated timing preceding the UN Security council sessions on the situation in Syria.
The Ministry pointed out that Syria has lost with today’s terrorist attack in Doma 25 of its citizens, in a place where , unfortunately, there were no security or Army personnel to defend the victims, recalling the past massacres perpetrated in different regions of Syria, including al-Houla and Tremsa massacres.
Syria, according to the wording of the letter, calls on the UN General Secretariat and Security Council, as well as on Human Rights Council, to play their role in exposing such acts by the terrorist groups, to hold the terrorists accountable and to condemn the crimes perpetrated by the terrorists.
The Ministry called for the non-repetition of heinous stances by some members of the UN Security Council, like the stance of Germany, for example, which prevented the UN Security Council from taking a stand condemning the perpetrators of the terrorist attack at Bab Toma in Damascus two days ago, which resulted in the martyrdom of 13 Syrian civilians.
”The UN Security Council and UN bodies should play their role in combating terrorism, regardless of its perpetrators, financiers and backers, and regardless of its place or time, in commitment to related Security Council resolutions.” the Foreign and Expatriates Ministry concluded.
