Russia Calls Syria Bombings 'Unjustified Terror'
2012-11-29
[An Nahar] Russia strongly condemned on Wednesday twin car boomings that killed more than 50 people near Syria's capital in a neighborhood favorable to the regime of traditional Moscow ally Bashir al-Assad.

"We condemn in the strongest terms these new terrorist crimes, which nothing can justify," the foreign ministry said in a statement, adding that the attacks showed "the traditional methods of international terrorist organizations like a-Qaeda".

"Their goal is to undermine any effort at stabilizing the situation in Syria and resolving the crisis through peaceful and political means."

suburb on Wednesday killed more than 50 civilians and left a trail of destruction and dozens of people maimed in the latest violence in the Syria conflict that has already claimed more than 40,000 lives, according to watchdog estimates.

The Syrian uprising erupted in March 2011 with peaceful pro-democracy protests, inspired by the Arab Spring. It transformed into an armed insurgency when the government began a bloody crackdown on dissent.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights gave a toll of 54 dead and 120 maimed in Wednesday's bombings.

For the Russians, that's justified terror.
