Turns out Syrian Foreign Minister Walim Moallem's tape on terrorism in Syria was a big lie. According to AFP, the footage of armed men in Latakia was a Facebook video of Lebanese men in Tripoli who had posted the video in 2008. A mutilated body presumably in Jisr al-Shughur was in fact that of an Egyptian lynched in the Lebanese village of Katr Maya, as reported by NOW Lebanon.
No wonder the Assad regime keeps foreign media out of Syria, and no wonder Moallem obstructed accepting Arab monitors into the country. If in a video of less than 10 minutes, at least two proofs emerged showing the Assad regime lying about the existence of terrorists inside Syria, what would media and monitors show if they were ever allowed in?
