Syrian developed PC game simulates anti-Israel terror
A new video game for home computers is being developed in Syria which allows users to assume the role of Palestinians carrying out terrorist attacks on Israeli soldiers, including at least one suicide bombing. Entitled "Under Siege", the game is slated for release by the end of the year by Damascus-based Afkar Media, according to a report in the Beirut Daily Star. Users will be able to simulate various types of attacks on Israelis, ranging from a teenage Palestinian armed with a slingshot to a 25-year old toting a machine gun. In addition, one scene is said to depict a Palestinian female suicide bomber in Jenin who hands her child over to relatives before detonating a hand grenade in a crowd of Israeli soldiers. Nonetheless, the game's developers insist that it is intended to promote non-violence. Really? Posted by: Mark Espinola 2004-10-22 |
