Wudn't us. for an attack on a neighborhood in the Syrian city of Aleppo which maimed a young boy whose rescue was filmed and shared widely on social media. The image of the 5-year old stunned boy, sitting in an ambulance caked with dust and with blood on his face, captured the horror that has beset the war-torn city. Meanwhile, ...back at the revival hall, the pastor had finally been wrestled from the pulpit. Y'got the wrong guy!he yelled just before Sergeant Malone's billy club landed... the United States Thursday expressed shock at a photo circulating worldwide on social media that shows a dazed Syrian boy covered in blood and dust, calling him "the real face" of the country’s war. "That little boy has never had a day in his life where there hasn’t been war, death, destruction, poverty in his own country," State Department front man John Kirby told news hounds during his daily press briefing. Departing from his usual diplomatic talking points, Kirby asked the news hounds how many among them had seen photos of the child. The shocked boy, a four-year-old named Omran, is pictured sitting in an ambulance covered in blood and dust after an air strike Wednesday in the rebel-held district of Qaterji in the southeast of Aleppo, which has been devastated by the five-year war. "You don’t have to be a dad, but I am. You can’t but help look at that and see that that’s the real face of what’s going on in Syria," Kirby said. Posted by: Fred 2016-08-20 |
