Syria Says 'Terrorist Infiltration' from Turkey Foiled
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Syria foiled an operation by "terrorists" to infiltrate the country from neighboring Turkey, the official news agency SANA reported on Tuesday.
"Border guards last (Monday) night thwarted an attempted infiltration by armed terrorist groups from Turkey" in the Ain Bayda sector of Idlib province of northwest Syria, it said.
It added that an unspecified number of the 35 gunmen were wounded and the rest fled back into Turkey, without any casualties among the border guards.
"Cars were heard taking the wounded gunmen away on the Turkish side," SANA reported.
A rebel Free Syrian Army, based in Turkey and made up of army deserters, has been battling the security forces waging a crackdown on anti-regime protests that the United Nations says has cost more than 4,000 lives since mid-March.

Wow naharnet didn't ignore this? What about the 20+ previous times SANA reported foiling infiltrations from Lebanon, Jordan, and Turkey? What about the hundreds of times SANA showed the weapons used by the "peaceful protesters"? Why is the media ignoring 98% of SANA's reporting, but reports 100% of what a UK-based "human rights" organization says about Syria?

That is the same photo of the same guns we have been seeing for months.
Hey Bashar, if your claim is true, too bad the international observers were not there to see it.

what makes you think the international observers will report back truly what they see, don't you think that if you own a state you better make sure to the teeth that however is being brought into your state is not a "false witness" first?
really its almost laughable how some people here are so childish and very naive in their thoughts, wake up people the world is very very complex and very very corrupt on so many levels, what happens in a state is the state's business period and whoever comes in to "observe" should have a clean history record of no violations or acts of falsehood in their recent history at all and if those terms are not met then even if i were a statesman i wouldn't let them 100 miles from were my interests stand.
you think this is about the "poor syrian opposition"? you think the world really cares! wake up and take a look at the big picture first, or take a look at the guns above.
