NGO: Three killed in Damascus Bombing

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

A suicide attack on Sunday hit the northern Damascus district of Rukn al-Din, the Syrian state broadcaster reported while a watchdog said three people were killed in the attack.

"A terrorist suicide explosion... hit the Rukn al-Din neighborhood of Damascus. There are reports of victims," state television said although it did not provide a toll.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said three people killed in the explosion, but it did not specify what had caused the blast.

The Britain-based group also said security forces deployed en masse in the district and closed off several roads in the area.

Rukn al-Din adjoins the flashpoint Barzeh district, scene of fierce fighting pitting rebels against troops after the army recently escalated its efforts to crush the insurgency around Damascus.

Regime forces shelled Barzeh on Sunday and clashed with rebels, the Observatory said, adding that there were several casualties.

It also reported that several shells fell near a security branch in the Bab Musalla district of southwestern Damascus.

Violence also raged in the Damascus countryside.

The army battled rebels both in the Eastern Ghouta area east of the capital and in the Qalamoun area that lies between Damascus and the Lebanese border, said the Observatory.

In Qalamoun, at least six rebels were killed in Sunday morning's fighting, the group added.

In northern Syria, meanwhile, 12 troops were killed in a rebel car bomb attack at the edges of Aleppo city, said the Observatory.

Clashes also rocked the New Aleppo district in the western part of the northern city on Sunday, a day after rebels said they launched an offensive against loyalist forces, the Observatory said.

Regime aircraft shelled the flashpoint neighborhood, it added.

A powerful explosion, meanwhile, rocked Aleppo's Minnigh air base, which rebels fighting to topple President Bashar Assad's regime have been trying for months to wrest from army control.

Syria's 27-month war has left more than 93,000 people dead, according to the United Nations.

They are the source of much evil but certainly not all evil. Shiites play their fair part in contributing to this evil as well. In lebanon we have hezballah and amal terrorists, in iraq sadr and badr and brutal regime terrorists, in syria, there is the baath and shabbi7a terrorists, in iran there is the regime and basij and God knows how many militia agencies answering to the supreme leader. These are only a few examples so clean up your own backyard if you to be taken seriously. KSA and IRAN are two evils for muslims and christian arabs.

You are the one who needs to take a closer look at your "analysis". You keep saying cannibals cannibals, yet the guy who ate the heart only represents himself, not those he is allied with and he was chased by his allies who condemned him. Secondly, who says only a person he who eats an organ can be a terrorist? Pulling off finger nails, raping women, children and men, putting peoples head on a stair and stepping on it to break it in to two pieces, bombinb people standing in a bread line, slowly stabbing people in order to torture them to death among millions of other methods of killing opponents is also terrorism. The badr militia in iraq used chainsaws on their victims and yes they did randomly go out and kill at will, as does the shabbi7a and shiite outlaws of the syrian army, not to forget amal during the civil war nor the irani basij when they had a revolution in iran.

Why do you think so many iranians converted to christianity or atheism when they reached the west and declared their hate for shia whom they consider to be extremists and terrorists. I wouldnt want to live with neither ksa sponsored filth terrorists nor iran sponsored filth terrorists. And its stupid to argue over who is worst when they are both evil. I dont care if one of them is slightly worse than the other when both sides are on top of the evil tree. I will not blame islam as a whole as i dont like it when people blame christianity as whole due to our own rotten apples but i will say that wahhabism and shiaism are two evils that the middle east would be better without.

wolf bla bla bla. Sure ill give you an example, argentina attack on jews, attacking american marines in lebanon, blowing up civilians in iraq, sending terrorists to azeribajzan, cyprus, egypt and other places who were caught before being able to carry on their terrorism just to give you an example. Im not the one defending wahhabi terrorists, you are the one defending shiite terrorists yet im a wahhabi, not christian, while you are christian and not shiite? Taqiya is the most stupid invention it seems since it has no logic nor common sence.

Sure keep telling yourself that. In reality, the cannibal zombies was one person, and shiites themselves have cannibals and they themselves have comitted attrocities against muslims, fellows shiites, christians, bahais and other minorities. Just to give you an example of shiite cannibalism:

The man who ate his wifes lips is an iranian shia.

First of all i am orthodox so save me your accusations. Secondly repeating cannibalism over and over only confirms you have nothing else to say. There was one cannibals period and he was condemned by his own. Likewise, there is an iranian shiite cannibal who ate his wifes lips because he suspected she had cheated. If you ask me the shiite who cooked his wifes lips is worse than the guy who ate a dead guys heart because he was in the middle of a brutal war and had seen a lot of crimes by such shabbi7a and soldiers which made him lose his mind and become war damaged. Its true that shiites have been opressed but they also have been and are opressors. If you portray yourselfs like victims only and do not confess your own crimes which are many and equally brutal (in syria shiite crimes have been worse than wahhabi crimes) then clearly you are not an honest person and a hypocrite. At the end of the day, to hell with shiaism and wahhabism. As chistians and most muslims even, we want neither.

As for resorting to lies, its you who do. And if its not lies then its half-truths and hypocrisy ignoring your own filth and only looking at others filth.

Wolf, keep dreaming. This is what you fanatical fools wish to be true. You want only sunnis to hate your filth because it easier for you. I really could care less what you think but i understand why you would think that since you shiites are acustomed to pretending to be christians online to post your anti-sunnite comments. I am as much a sunni fanatical supporter as i am a shiite fanatical supporter. I hate them both unlike you who hate both yet support the other. Tfeh alayk enta ya kizzeb ya wateh. You sound like a 10 year old. Rou7 endabb wlak. And keep dreaming that christians will ever be your shoe shiners. We can live with you side by side but not with your weapons so take your taqiya antics and shove them.

You see how you contradict yourself? Whatever, i dont have time for this. To keep it short, wahhabism does not allow eating human organs as sick as they are, that is still considered a sin for them. The guy in question was a war damaged thug. Eating human organs is considered disgusting by everyone on earth except by mentally ill persons, regardless of faith. To blame his actions on their faith means likewise, the shiite cannibal who ate his wifes lips did so because of his faith! Wahhabism and shiaism are both sick cults and will always be. Shiaism hikacked islam as well. Shias comit brutal crimes as do wahhabis. Tfeh 3alayyon tnaynayton.
