    SYRIA: CHRISTIAN FAMILY BEHEADED, CHRISTIANS ATTACKED AT FUNERAL

    "Armed gangs of jihadists have begun to sow terror.." And Obama is
    backing them. "ASIA/SYRIA - Bomb at a funeral, a family beheaded:
    Christians and Druzes targeted in Damascus," from Agenzia Fides,
    August 29 (thanks to Lachlan):

    Damascus (Agenzia Fides) - A terrorist attack hit innocent Christian
    faithful and innocent Druzes in the area of Jaramana, a suburb
    of Damascus: yesterday, August 28, at 2 pm, a bomb in a car was
    detonated while a crowd of faithful, families, elderly people, women
    and children, were heading to the cemetery to bury two young people.

    The two had died the day before, on August 27, also victims of an IED.

    As the crowd, after the funeral, was accompanying the deceased to
    the burial, a taxi exploded causing 12 deaths (according to other
    sources 27), including 5 children, and injuring more than 50 people. In
    Jarmana about 600 thousand people live, mostly religious minorities:
    there are 250 thousand Christians (Assyrians, Armenians, Chaldeans,
    Melkites, Orthodox and other denominations), as well as Druzes and
    about 120 thousand Iraqi refugees, who fled to Syria in past years.

    As reported by Fides sources in Damascus, the Christians in the
    suburbs of Jaramana (south-west of Damascus) and Zamalka (South-East
    of the city) are under pressure from armed groups jiahdisti and are
    terrified. Today in Zamalka a family of Armenian Christians was found
    murdered, and all members of the family horribly decapitated. The
    execution brings to mind the work of radical Islamist Salafis.

    These acts, which affect innocent people, have generated anger and
    confusion in the Christian community. A leader of the Latin Catholic
    community of Damascus, who requested anonymity, told Fides: "These
    are terrorist acts: we do not know who is behind, some are groups
    that want to destroy Syria. Armed gangs of jihadists have begun to
    sow terror. The point is that even in the West, Christians are often
    portrayed as friends of the regime or collaborators of the repression,
    but it is not true. Christians are with the Syrian people and just want
    peace. But this propaganda gives terrorist groups, infiltrators among
    the rebels, a pretext to attack us." (PA) (Agenzia Fides 29/08/2012)
