Syrian Government troops massacre 200 people in their homes.

[Own3d]

Syrian opposition activists say scores of bodies have been found in a town near the capital Damascus, accusing government troops of "massacre".

The activists say many of the victims in the town of Daraya had been "summarily executed".

One unconfirmed report said more than 200 bodies were discovered in houses and basement shelters.

Without commenting on the activists' claim, Syrian state TV said Daraya was being "purified of terrorist remnants".
'House-to-house' raids

The forces of President Bashar al-Assad launched an assault on the town on Saturday, after days of heavy bombardment.

Activists on the ground later posted video footage on the internet, which apparently showed numerous bodies in the Abu Auleiman al-Darani mosque.

The activists say that many of the victims had gunshot wounds to the head and chest and were killed during house-to-house raids by government troops.

"Assad's army has committed a massacre in Daraya," an opposition member in Deraa told Reuters.

The activist added that most of the victims had been killed from close range, and some died from sniper fire.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based opposition activist group, had earlier put the number of dead in Deraa at more than 120 for this week alone.

The claims by the activists have not been independently verified because of restrictions placed on on foreign media across Syria.

True .... even more so here in the states. The media in the US has the least credibility because its "agenda based reporting" {lack of a better term}. If the national agenda is to attack Iran, then the media demonizes Iran at every turn, often by even misquoting the language, just to mindfvck the US citizens into believing the BS.

How soon we forget the "Iraq WMD", debacle and the role US media outlets played in mindfvcking the dumbed-down US citizens that Iraq was a threat to the US. Three Trillion dollars later and still no WMD's.

How soon we forget the genocide fostered by so-called Israel's war machine in Palestine. If you listen to the media, its justified because the kids were throwing rocks at tanks.

I believe nothing the media states on the national boobtube -- no cred.

In his June 7 report, Hermann asserted that the victims of the massacre in Taldou, a village in the Houla region, were members of the Alawite und Shi’ite minorities and that the killers were not troops loyal to the Assad regime, but forces aligned with the Sunni-based sectarian Free Syrian Army (FSA).

Although the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung is one of the most prominent German-language newspapers and Hermann a well-known journalist, the report has largely been ignored by the German and international media and criticized in a few reports.

you might not be wrong about that....the rebels haven't hesitated to execute captured soldiers and in some cases use them as unwilling suicide bombers either..
