“Insurgents” Shell Russian Embassy In Syria After Al-Qaeda Calls For Jihad Against Russian Civilians

As the twin blasts that ripped through Ankara on Saturday underscore, being around large gatherings of people who are protesting (peacefully or otherwise) in public places can be dangerous if you’re in a Mid-East war zone. Large crowds make for easy targets and as we’ve seen in Turkey, at least some governments seem to believe that inflicting casualties on civilians is a legitimate tool for shaping public opinion.

With that in mind, consider that on Tuesday, “insurgents” hit the Russian embassy in Damascus as more than 300 people gathered to express their support for Moscow’s intervention in Syria. As AFP reports:

Two rockets struck the Russian embassy compound in Damascus on Tuesday sparking panic as several hundred people gathered to express their support for Moscow’s air war in Syria, AFP journalists said.

Some 300 people had begun to gather for a demonstration backing Russia’s recent intervention in Syria when the rockets crashed into the embassy compound in the Mazraa neighbourhood of the capital, the journalists at the scene said.

…… Lavrov: “This is… most likely intended to intimidate supporters of the fight against terror and prevent them from prevailing in the struggle against extremists.”

Meanwhile, the head of al-Nusra, Abu Mohamed al-Jolani, is out raising the spectre of the Soviet-Afghan war on the way to calling for a jihad against Russian civilians……

Russian Intel: Militants trying to flee from Syria through humanitarian corridors – Fort Russ

Director of the Russian Federal Security Service, Alexander Bortnikov, said that successful military action in Syria has led to the dispersal of large clusters of militants. Some militants are attempting to leave the combat zone for the purpose of carrying out terrorist attacks.

Militants from Syria are trying to leave the war zone through the corridors of transferring refugees to the countries of Europe, Asia and Russia, said the director of the Federal Security Service of Russia Alexander Bortnikov.

“The success of the government forces in Syria, with the support of the Armed Forces of Russia have already led to the dispersal of several large clusters of fighters. There is evidence of ongoing terrorist attempts to leave the combat zone and, using established corridors of transferring refugees to enter the countries of Europe, Asia and Russia to carry out terrorist attacks, “- said Bortnikov Tuesday at a meeting of the National Anti-Terrorist Committee in Nalchik.

Since September 30, at the request of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Russia has started airstrikes on the target “Islamic State” in Syria. During this time, Russian Airforce has inflicted on the terrorists more than three hundred strikes, destroying about 300 militants training camps, command posts, ammunition depots and other facilities. In addition, 26 cruise missiles fired ships of the Caspian Flotilla, which successfully struck ISIS targets.

General Staff of the Russian Federation said that the ISIS militants have suffered significant losses and have changed their tactics, dispersing their power and hiding in populated areas.
