We have a BIG problem with this article 1) Martin Chulov an anti-Assad journalist working for the Guardian, exposed as a liar by Lizzie Phelan . Chulov fabricated an entire story to smear the Damascus network TV channel after NATO backed terrorists blew up the Syrian TV channel killing three journalists.. 2 ) The UK. Human Rights Syrian Observatory run by one man in Coventry fabricates atrocities from his sofa ...see image above
You see the problem, Washington and London are paying Rami Abdulraham a LOT of money for sitting in Conventry on his sofa and inventing the most outrageous atrocities to place the blame on Assad. We must therefore wait for further news to see if the latest ' hama massacre' really took place or did Abdulraham invent it over his plate of fried rice !

Sameh said he had left the town before the reported massacre but was in touch with residents.
"Every family in the town seems to have had members killed. We have names of men, women and children from countless families," he said, adding that many of the bodies were taken to a local mosque....read more
