Horror as Video Seemingly Shows Dozens of Dead Children in Syria After One of Regime’s Deadliest Attacks

(The Blaze/AP) — Gruesome video Saturday showed rows of dead Syrian children lying in a mosque in bloody shorts and T-shirts with gaping head wounds, haunting images of what activists called one of the deadliest regime attacks yet in Syria’s 14-month-old uprising.
The assault on Houla, a group of villages northwest of the central city of Homs, killed more than 90 people, including at least 32 children under the age of 10, the head of the U.N. observer team in Syria said.
The attacks sparked outrage among international leaders, anti-regime groups and large protests in Syria, including the suburbs of the capital of Damascus and its largest city, Aleppo. It also renewed fears of the relevance of a month-old international peace plan that has not stopped almost daily violence.
More than a dozen amateur videos posted online Saturday gave glimpses of the carnage, showing lines of bodies laid out in simple rooms, many with bloody faces, torsos and limbs. In some places, residents put hunks of ice on the bodies to preserve them until burial.
One two-minute video shows at least a dozen children lined up shoulder to shoulder on a checkered blanket on what appears to be the floor of a mosque. Blood trickled from one girl’s mouth. One boy, appearing to be no more than 8, had his jaw blown off. The video shows flowered blankets and rugs covering several rows of other bodies.
Another video posted Saturday showed a mass grave, four bodies wide and dozens of meters (yards) long.
Activists from Houla said Saturday that regime forces peppered the area with mortars after large demonstrations against the regime of President Bashar Assad the day before. That evening, they said, pro-regime fighters known as shabiha stormed the villages, gunning down men in the streets and stabbing women and children in their homes.
A local activist reached via Skype said regime forces fired shells at Houla, about 40 kilometers (25 miles) northwest of Homs. The shabiha entered the villages, raiding homes and shooting at civilians, Abu Yazan said. More than 100 people were killed, more than 40 of them children and most of them in the village of Taldaw, he said. Many had stab wounds, another activist said.
“They killed entire families, from parents on down to children, but they focused on the children,” Yazan said.
The Syrian government blamed the killings on “armed terrorist groups” — a term it often uses for the opposition — but provided no details or death toll.
U.N. observers, among more than 250 who were dispatched in recent weeks to salvage the cease-fire plan, visited the site of the killings Saturday, finding spent artillery tank shells. The head of the team. Maj. Gen. Robert Mood, called the attack a “brutal tragedy.”
“Whoever started, whoever responded, and whoever carried out this deplorable act of violence, should be held responsible.”
Here is one of the videos (content warning):
The attack is yet another blow to the international peace plan brokered by envoy Kofi Annan and cast a pall over his coming visit to check on the plan’s progress. The cease-fire between forces loyal to the regime of Assad and rebels seeking to topple it was supposed to start on April 12 but has never really taken hold, with new killings every day.
The U.N. put the death toll weeks ago at more than 9,000. Hundreds have been killed since.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Friday that there has only been “small progress” on implementing the peace plan and blamed the Syrian government for much of the “unacceptable levels of violence and abuses.” Annan is supposed to visit Syria soon to check on the plan’s progress.
The grisly images sparked outage both from anti-regime groups and political leaders around the world.
“With these new crimes, this murderous regime pushes Syria further into horror and threatens regional stability,” French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said in a statement Saturday.
The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights released an unusually harsh statement, saying Arab nations and the international community were “partners” in the killing “because of their silence about the massacres that the Syrian regime has committed.”
The Houla villages are Sunni Muslim. The forces came from an arc of nearby villages populated by Alawites, members of the offshoot of Shiite Islam to which Assad belongs, the activists said.
The activists said the Houla killings appeared to be sectarian between the two groups, raising fears that Syria’s uprising, which started in March 2011 with protests calling for political reform, is edging closer to the type of war that tore apart Syria’s eastern neighbor, Iraq.
“I don’t like to talk about sectarianism, but it was clear that this was sectarian hatred,” said activist Abu Walid.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 96 people were killed, 26 of them children and four of them army defectors.
The group’s head, Rami Abdul-Rahman, who relies on activists inside Syria, said all were killed in shelling, but that no forces entered Houla.
Syrian state TV condemned the opposition groups for the “massacre” in a statement Saturday.
“The armed groups are escalating their massacres against the Syrian people only days before international envoy Kofi Annan’s visit in a bid to defeat his plan and a political solution to the crisis and with the aim of exploiting the blood of Syrians in the media bazar,” it said.
The videos could not be independently verified. The Syrian government bars most media from operating inside the country.
The harsh condemnation from anti-regime groups reflects their growing frustration with international reluctance to intervene in Syria’s conflict.
World powers have fallen in behind the U.N. plan. The U.S. and European nations say they will not intervene militarily, and while Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Libya have said they will arm Syria’s rebels, no country is known to be doing so.
A spokeswoman for the opposition Syrian National Council called on the U.N. Security Council “to examine the situation in Houla and to determine the responsibility of the United Nations in the face of such mass killings, expulsions and forced migration from entire neighborhoods.”
Also Saturday, the story of 11 Lebanese Shiites who were reported kidnapped in Syria this week took another strange turn.
Lebanese officials first said their expected arrival on a plane from Turkey to Lebanon late Friday was delayed for “logistical reasons.”
On Saturday, Turkey’s Foreign Ministry denied the men were in Turkey — raising new questions about their fate.
Lebanese and Syrian officials blamed Syrian rebels for Tuesday’s kidnapping. No group has claimed responsibility.
Associated Press writers Elaine Ganley in Paris, Zeina Karam in Beirut and Selcan Hacaoglu in Ankara, Turkey, contributed reporting.

Posted on May 26, 2012 at 7:22pmReading these comments, it is amazing to see how little Americans really care about freedom when they are tested on it. Guess freedom is only a good thing when you are the one who has it? Screw others who don’t have freedom. Let them suffer, huh? And don‘t show you what’s happening? Make your excuses and live in ignorant bliss. If you could care less about the freedom of others, how do you deserve it yourself?

Had these kids been killed by Israeli bullets, we’d never hear the end of it from the UN dolts and the MSM. But since Syrians are killing each other its their business and we should stay out of it.

Posted on May 27, 2012 at 8:40amGood LORD you people are a bunch of SHEEP! This is NOT the work of the Syrian Army or pro-regime ‘thugs’ as the UN and propaganda machines spit out. It‘s the work of the so called ’rebels’ who have broken the cease fire order the UN put out.
Do you STILL believe the UN whenever it says something? Do you not listen when they actually TELL YOU that Al Qaeda is with the rebels and WE ARE ARMING THEM? DO YOU NOT LISTEN?!?!?!?!?!
“It is assumed that the Syrian government was expected to allow entire cities to be overrun by demonstrative sectarian violence, targeting Alawites, Christians, Druze, and Kurds, as well as any, including Sunnis, who were suspected of supporting the ruling government. It is imagined that had the government even conceded to allowing this to pass, it would be paradoxically accused of then not maintaining security and order under the “responsibility to protect,” or “R2P” doctrine. ”
Get your heads out of your a$$es and THINK for a change and not just regurgitate what you hear on the MSM!!!! Especially if you are CHRISTIAN!

The Middle East is the playground for all the western corporations. Just look at who took control of the resources in the countries that we went into. Libya: Oil reserves to be owned by the State; trade in gold not US dollars; no central bank. Afghanistan: oil now in the hands of corporate giants as the pipeline is being built/protected by US troops; poppy fields back in business ALSO protected by US troops. The list goes on. When the regime of Middle Eastern countries do not kowtow to the US THIS is what HAPPENS and it’s all spoon fed to the public through the mass media in a PSYOP to garner outrage and the begin the drums of war beating.
Again, I say. When are you going to connect those dots and really look at who is doing what and why??? You say you aren’t sheep, that you’re all awake. No, you are not. You are at that stage where you just woke up and are still groggy and not thinking clearly. Don’t reach for that kool-aid (MSM and yes that includes FOX) to wake yourself up.. research for yourself!

Well, then I guess we need to declare war on Russia, China, North Korea, and most of the rest of the world. Now where do you draw the line on making war on people living under a government that will not give them the freedoms we have. Just where do you draw the line?
We can‘t police the world and we can’t make the world live like we do. We left Iraq with a decent government and look what they did with it. Do you want to go back there and teach them how we live some more? Do you really think it is our right to go around killing people just because they don’t have the freedoms we have?
I think you would do much better keeping your focus on this country and what is going on at home then worrying about what is going on some place else in the world. We have enough problems here to keep us busy for a long time. Quit worrying about us controlling the rest of the world.

That is a very good question that you asked. Bashar Assad (Syrian president) is actually an Alawite and not a Sunni. The Sunni’s comprise about 74% of Syria and the Alawites comprise about 12%. Here is the rub. All of the Arab states want a Caliphate which means that Shari’a law becomes the power. The last stronghold in getting the Caliphate is Syria. This would mean that Assad is stripped of any power in Syria and would soon be deposed and killed. Iran comprises about 98% Shi’ites and that means that the entire Arab nations of Sunni would then war against Iran as well as purge all of the minorities in the Middle East. Eventually you would then have a your Caliphate with Iranians either slaughtered.or converted to Sunni. Assad and Iran both see this in the long term and realize that the Caliphate must be stopped.
As you see and hear of the Syria revolution you then can realize that those being killed are Sunni and that little love is lost in this revolution. That is why Iran wants a big bomb. They realize that they are a nation against the entire Sunni nations of the Middle East and in order to survive they must have the bomb. Otherwise they will eventually be wiped out. So Assad without his majority Sunni’s has allied with Iran for survival. He simply does not want the Caliphate to rule and lose his power. Thus-kill them and keep them in control.

Al-Qaeda Ladies’ Choir Struts Its Stuff in Rebel Syria
May 10, 2012
by John Rosenthal
Back in mid-February, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper warned that al-Qaeda had “infiltrated” the Syrian opposition. At roughly the same time, videos began emerging on the internet that clearly revealed just what an understatement–to put it mildly–Clapper’s observation represented. The videos show Syrian rebel brigades proudly posing with the al-Qaeda flag and protestors holding it high. (See “Al-Qaeda in Rebel Syria” here.) This was not a matter of “infiltration,” with the word’s connotations of stealth and cunning, but rather of an openly publicized affiliation.
In the meanwhile, an even more revealing video has come to light. It shows demonstrators in a public square in Syria holding up the al-Qaeda flag and chanting “Allahu Akbar!” What is particularly notable about this video, however, is that the demonstrators are women. The women are fully veiled from head to foot, with black niqabs or facial veils covering all but their eyes.”
