Denying and then denying

By the way, as one Syrian opposition person notes on FB, one of the religious armed groups in the early 1980s in Syria, At-Tali`ah Al-Muqatilah (Riyad Ash-Shaqfah of the Muslim Brotherhood today is its graduate) commonly claimed responsibility for a bombing attack, and then waited for public opinion reaction, and if the reaction is negative, it would casually deny claiming responsibility.  We are witnessing that these days by the religious fanatical group of the Free Syrian Army.
