TERRORISTS IN HAFFA ATTACKED A MEDIA ORGANISATION

SANA is reporting that the terrorist attacks in Haffa were on a media organisation called al-Ikhbaria. I wonder if this is related to the proposed attempted coup later this week?

DAMASCUS, (SANA) – The Ministry of Information stressed on Tuesday that the terrorist attack against al-Ikhbaria channel by armed terrorist groups is an attempt to stop national media from conveying the truth of events to the public opinion.

The Ministry added in a statement that the Syrian TV channels which are relating the reality of terrorism targeting the Syrian people with all its spectrums and components have become the target of terrorists on the ground.

The Ministry expressed best wishes for al-Ikhbaria channel's cameraman and reporter in Lattakia to recover quickly, stressing that the bullets of terrorism will only boost the determination of journalists to carry out their mission which is conveying the facts objectively and responsibly to the public opinion.
