FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Mr Perrin said: “A few days ago we were advised to leave the city
urgently and we were told: ‘If they (the Syrian Army) find you they will
kill you’.
“I then left the city with the journalist from the Sunday Times but then
she wanted to go back when she saw that the major offensive had not yet
taken place.”
Mr Perrin, who headed to Beirut from Homs, said the Syrians were “fully
aware” that the press centre was broadcasting direct evidence of crimes
against humanity, including the murdering of women and children.
“The Syrian Army issued orders to ‘kill any journalist that set foot on
Syrian soil’.”
It was in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, that Mr Perin received news of the
intercepted Syrian Army radio traffic.
The Syrians knew that if they destroyed the press centre, then there would be “no
more information coming out of Homs”, said Mr Perrin.
Mr Perin said the centre had a limited electricity supply and internet access,
thanks to a generator. This made it a â privileged location’ compared to the
rest of the decimated city.
In her broadcasts on Tuesday night, Colvin had accused the Syrian Army of
perpetrating the “complete and utter lie that they are only targeting
terrorists.” Describing what was happening as “absolutely sickening”,
Colvin said: “The Syrian army is simply shelling a city of cold,
starving civilians.”‘
Other sources in Damascus confirmed that Syrians, including senior Army
officers and Al-Assad himself, would have been able to watch Colvin’s
broadcasts.
Syrian authorities however have claimed they were not aware the journalists
had entered the country.
“The authorities had no information that the two journalists had entered
Syrian territory,” Adnan Mahmud told AFP.
Mr Mahmud said that he had asked “specialised authorities in Homs to look for
them (Colvin and Ochlik).” He did not acknowledge whether they were dead or
alive.
“The ministry urges all foreign journalists who entered Syria illegally to
report to the nearest immigration office to legalise their presence,” he
added.
Frederic Mitterrand, the French culture minister, said Colvin and Ochlik had
been “targeted and tried to flee the bombardment”, and
eyewitnesses in Homs said were killed as they fled the centre.
Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president said of the attacks: “That’s enough
now. This regime must go and there is no reason that Syrians don’t have the
right to live their lives and choose their destiny freely. If journalists
were not there, the massacres would be a lot worse.”
Reporters working in Homs feared the Army had “locked on” to their
satellite phone signals and targeted the buildings they were coming from.
Abu Abdu al-Homsi, an opposition activist, confirmed that the Army had cut
phone lines into the city and were bombing any buildings where they detected
mobile phone signals.
