FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Eleven people were killed across the country, in areas including central Hama
and southern Daraa, where an 11-year-old child died from sniper fire,
according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
Troops shot and wounded five protesters in the capital and 20 in the central
town of Helfaya, where two civilians also died, while another demonstrator
was killed in the northern city of Aleppo, the Britain-based Observatory
said.
Aleppo-based activist Mohammed al-Halabi said the protester died from his
wounds after regime forces opened fire in the Salaheddine neighbourhood.
All but one of those killed on Friday were civilians, with one soldier killed
and six others wounded in Jisr al-Shugur city in Idlib province when a blast
hit their vehicle.
State television, meanwhile, said troops killed a would-be suicide bomber in
Aleppo.
“The Syrian authorities have foiled an attempted suicide attack in
Al-Shaar area in Aleppo, and killed the would-be attacker,” the channel
added, saying the attacker’s car was laden with 2,640 pounds of explosives.
Anti-regime activists dismissed the official account of a foiled attack as “a
lie,” according to Mr Halabi.
“It is not in the interests of the (rebel) Free Syrian Army to stage
attacks on a Friday,” the day of weekly mass anti-regime protests over
the past 14 months, Mr Halabi said.
Thursday’s bomb attacks in the capital were the deadliest in 14 months of
unrest, killing 55 people and wounding nearly 400, to a chorus of
international condemnation.
The United Nations called on both sides in the conflict to co-operate with a
month-old ceasefire as President Bashar al-Assad’s regime and the opposition
traded accusations over the perpetrators of the carnage.
More than 12,000 people, the majority of them civilians, have died since the
uprising began, according to the Observatory, including more than 900 killed
since the April 12 truce went into effect.
