Syria coverage

A reader sent me this:  "The opening sentence of the above article reads:
"More than 34 children have been killed in Syria since a shaky truce between President Bashar al-Assad's security forces and opposition groups began on April 12, a U.N. envoy said on Tuesday."

And then further down, they write:
"Since a truce was agreed on April 12 ... and despite the deployment of United Nations ceasefire monitors, more than 34 children have allegedly been killed," said in a statement.  The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said two children were among 10 people killed in a mortar attack ..."

So where 34 killed or allegedly killed? And all these allegations in the news of civilian deaths are based on SOHR reporting. It seems MSM just wants to keep Syria in the news just to prepare public opinion for another Western war of imperialism under the guise of humanitarian interventionism."
