Using Kids in Terrorist Attacks Proves that Sponsors of Terrorists Don’t Care about Syrian Children’s Lives

DAMASCUS, (ST)-Using kids by terrorist organizations in terror attacks provides a further evidence that sponsors of these terror groups don’t care for the lives of the Syrian children, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates.

Addressing the UN chief and President of the Security Council in two identical letters on the crime perpetrated by the terrorists in one of Damascus police stations, the ministry said that on December 16, 2016, the armed terrorist groups committed a horrible crime through “exploiting an eight years old girl by making the girl carry an amount of explosives and asking her to enter the station as a lost girl.  A while after entering the station the terrorists detonated the explosives remotely killing the girl, injuring a policeman besides causing material damage in some offices.”

 The ministry added that “from the very begging of the crisis, the terrorist organizations have used kids in implementing their inhuman goals. The new incident indicates that the terrorists don’t hesitate in using girls and boys in attacks whenever it is possible. It also  provides a clear evidence that those sponsoring terrorist organizations in Syria and differentiating between moderate terrorists and extremist ones don’t care for the lives of Syrian children, as they claim, including the life of this year and those of hundreds of kids used by the terrorist groups to achieve their inhuman and sinister goals.”

According to the Ministry, the Syrian Arab Republic “affirms that such violations of children rights must convince the countries which support gunmen in Syria, particularly France, Britain and the United States and their allies in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey who have suffered hysteria after Syria and its allies liberated Aleppo from terrorists, that such support must immediately stop.”  

The ministry concluded the letters by saying that “Syria affirms that the Security Council should implement its resolutions relating to the fight against terrorism that are completely forgotten by the US, British, French and Ukrainian governments which are keen on misleading the world through non commitment to the council’s resolutions on fighting terrorism, including resolution No. 2254.
