Atrocity in Syria

Terrorists struck at a graduation ceremony today in Homs, Syria, killing at least 154 people and injuring at least 125. The Syrian military released this statement:

" Continuing their criminal approach and continuing to shed Syrian blood, armed terrorist organizations supported by well-known international parties this afternoon targeted the graduation ceremony of military college officer students in Homs with marches carrying explosive ammunition, immediately after the ceremony ended, resulting in the death of a number of martyrs, both civilians and military personnel. Dozens of people were injured, including critical injuries, among the invited families, including women and children, in addition to a number of college students participating in the graduation.

The General Command of the Army and Armed Forces considers this cowardly terrorist act, an unprecedented criminal act, and affirms that it will respond with full force and decisiveness to these terrorist organizations wherever they exist, and stresses that the planners and executors of this criminal act will be held accountable, for which they will pay dearly.
