Syrian regime army crimes

Akram, who is emerging as Angry Arab's chief correspondent on Syria, sent me this:  "What we already know is now confirmed by a Syrian "third-party": The Syrian army is using the indiscriminate bombing tactic (craziness) against the rebels causing unspecified number of casualties among the civilians. In a statement released by the "People Will Party" (Qadri Jamil) who is part of the so-called national coalition cabinet (Arabic):

... It's confusing that, in many cases, the Arab Syrian Army, the backbone of the national unity, is drawn to indiscriminately shell
(the rebel towns), a practice that deepens the wounds, causes mass displacements, increases the "armament" phenomenon and complicates the national crisis further...

Needless to say the silly opposition didn't dare to say: we condemn or, even less and safer, we express our deep concerns....

It's worthy to notice that:
  • 2 weeks ago, Amnesty International published a detailed report unveiling covering the criminal practices of the regime's forces in Idleb and Aleppo provinces. The third chapter of this report, Indiscriminate Attacks Causing Civilian Casualties, describe in details how hundreds of civilians have been killed and injured as a result of indiscriminate shooting and shelling by Syrian armed forces.
  • In a post to this site, In mentioned how the Syrian army uses tanks to bomb populated places and how it declares ultimatums to the civilians ordering them to evacuate their houses....
  • Moreover, during the few couples of days, tens of thousands of Damascus residents, were witnessing the Helicopters opening fire extensively on targets that weren't clear but said to be Jobar and Ain Tarma near Damascus while Douma now is a city of phantoms now
  • And just yesterday, this same practice is said to caused a huge massacre in the town of Zamalka near Damascus that resulted tens of victims who were mourning a young man killed by a sniper the day before though the details aren't clear yet while SANA, the Syrian official news agency, said nothing about this massacre."
