Syria Update: Latest Events

December 10, 2013





Damascus. International terrorist bands, in their powerless rage, have continued their barbaric attacks upon cities and townships of Syria. The mercenaries of terror, chanting invocations of God’s Name and Islamic slogans, do not war against the army and government but against the ordinary people of Syria by killing totally innocent civilians of that peaceful country.

During the day, in the heart of the world’s most ancient capital city, a bomb has exploded in the famous trade street of Al Sahia. Two persons have been killed at the explosion. About 35 people have been wounded. This spot in Damascus is one of the liveliest in the city. There are always many people there. That is exactly the kind of places that the terrorists have been trying to target. Another two bombs went off in Malki neighborhood, and one bomb went off in “Mezze 86” district, in the southwest of the Syrian capital Damascus, causing substantial damages.

Damascus province. Counterterrorism operations have continued in the city of Annabek, which had for a long time been in control of Al-Nusra Front terrorists. Syrian army troops have begun cleanup operations in and around the recently freed city. The remaining terrorists, resisting the troops, are being killed on the site. In the areas of the recent battles, a number of bodies of the killed terrorists have been discovered. Large amounts of abandoned terrorist weapons, ammunition, and equipment are currently being retrieved from the area.

Several secret stockpiles of weapons, ammunition, and ready-to-be-used landmines have also been discovered, hidden by the Islamists in the ordinary citizens’ dwelling houses. Syrian army troops have started undoing the terrorist-made firing points, fortified defense positions, and barricades in the area. Syrian army sappers have disarmed a large number of explosive devices and have carried out a thorough investigation on the site a real death factory of a terrorist workshop, which had been used by the terrorists to produce improvised explosive devices (IED).

Syrian army has brought along a long-awaited peace to the city. The reaming residents were happily welcoming their liberators. They told them about the nightmare that had reigned the city during the nearly four-month period of stay of the Islamists in the city. Refugees have begun to return to their looted and ruined homes. The people are certain that Syrian army will win this war.

With Annabek city freed from the terrorists, the Syrian army has taken in full control the strategic Damascus – Homs – Aleppo highway, which is open for safe transit, now.
