Syrian troops kill dozens alleged "terrorists" in restive Damascus' suburbs: TV

DAMASCUS, June 29 (Xinhua) -- Syria's state TV says competent authorities have killed dozens of "terrorists" in Damascus' suburb of Douma Friday, as activists said more than 41 people had been killed in relentless shelling on the same rebellious area.

The competent authorities have continued hunting down armed groups in Douma, killing dozens of them and rounding up large number of others, the TV said, citing what it called an official source as saying.

Syrian troops also destroyed communication centers and pickup cars outfitted with automatic machine guns in Douma, said the TV. It said detention centers have also been found equipped with torture means.

Interesting that the Chinese state media describe the Syrian regime as "competent authorities"

Not really. It their way of differentiating between the legitimate regime and opposition conglomerate.

What is interesting is the reference to torture equipment.

It might go hot at some point, that's a given. What's also a given is look at all these different sides involved are making a killing selling their gas at inflated prices. When you already are paying an army to stand around, and you're the one selling the oil, to move that army a little bit to scare the general public, does wonders for profit margins.

If illuminati is another word for ruthless, criminal state ruled by dictators, then yes the saudis are illuminati.

And our "leaders" long to be as well.

May they all rot in hell.

China & Russia have protected Assad's regime from UN sanctions before...so of course they would show support for their military.

Got any thing to add or are we just supposed to take your word for it.

You'd expect such old images to be found elsewhere online.
