NATO-backed "rebels"

The cleric had been a prominent supporter of President Bashar Assad since the uprising against the Syrian leader began two years ago. The slain cleric Bouti was imam of the ancient Umayyad Mosque in Damascus. The Free Syrian Army rebels denied responsibility and said that targeting houses of worship was not part of their strategy. At least 42 people have died and 84 more were wounded in the attack. Sunni Cleric Afshin Rattansi expressed hope that in the context of the bombing, “the whole idea of a NATO-backed instability creation in Syria, and three million displaced people in Syria, people within the State Department in Washington will realize that funding must stop for these insurgent groups.” At least 25 are reported dead after a chemical weapons attack targeting Syrian soldiers was carried out by NATO-backed terrorists in the northern city of Aleppo. European Command leader Admiral James Stavridis has confirmed that the US and other NATO member nations are engaged in joint planning for the possibility of military intervention in Syria’s Civil War. A couple of US senators have written to President Obama to express their strong belief that it is in their "national security interest to take more active steps in Syria, together with friends and allies in the Middle East and Europe, to stop the killing in Syria and force Bashar al-Assad to give up power," the senators wrote, adding that 70,000 people have been killed in the troubled nation, with 1 million displaced. Any chemical weapons imported into the country would implicate NATO either directly or through gross negligence, as the weapons would have passed through NATO-member Turkey, past US CIA agents admittedly operating along the border and along side Western-backed terrorists inside Syria. http://www.globalresearch.ca/syria-us-nato-backed-al-qaeda-terrorists-us... The Syrian government's SANA news agency reported that terrorists fired a rocket containing chemical substances in the Khan al-Assal area of rural Aleppo and confirmed that at least 25 people, most of them civilians, were killed. Has been secretly reported that NATO has done this attack, not the so called "rebels".
