SANA: ‘Terrorists' Shoot Dead General in Damascus
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
"An armed terrorist group" gunned down a Syrian general in Damascus on Saturday, the official SANA news agency reported, saying he was in charge of a military hospital in the capital.
"An armed terrorist group this morning assassinated brigadier general and doctor, Issa al-Khawli, the director of Hamish hospital, outside his home in the district of Ruknaddin," in northwest Damascus, SANA said.
"Three armed men had watched General Khawli leave his house and shot him," the news agency said, adding that he was a father of four, including three daughters.
State television showed footage of what it said was the general lying in a pool of blood outside his home, his head pixelated.
The report could not be independently verified. But if confirmed, it would be one of the most brazen attacks on a ranking officer in the Syrian capital since an uprising erupted in March last year.

The opposition should begin to target the heads of the criminal regime and punish all who stands with the butcher's regime against his people

Stupid naharnet. The terrorists have done such assassinations of civilians since the start of the unrest. Nothing new. Just like how the emergence of armed terrorists is not new like the media claims.
