THE FOGGY FOG GROWS FOGGIER

According to statements given to Human Rights Watch, shelling of Houla started at 230pm. This contradicts statements given to Alex Thomson that the shelling lasted between 1230pm and 230pm. At around 630pm when this shelling intensified gunmen in military uniforms killed 62 members of the Abdel Razzak family on the edge of Houla, who shared a small cluster of houses. Survivors from this family saw or heard many members of the family shot. Then the FSA arrived.

At around 2:30 p.m., the army located on the outskirts of town started shelling the neighborhood.

...At around 6:30 p.m., just as the shelling intensified on parts of Houla, armed gunmen wearing military uniforms attacked homes situated on the outskirts of town on the road leading to the Houla dam, three survivors of the attacks told Human Rights Watch. Most of those killed belonged to the Abdel Razzak family. Local activists provided Human Rights Watch with a list of 62 dead members from the Abdel Razzak family.

This also contradicts what Thomson reports that the killers were able to walk through Houla slaughtering for nearly 11 hours unimpeded.

No mention of clashes between FSA and Syrian military.

And what was the reaction of the FSA to finding this family slaughtered in this way?

An old woman of the family survived and told HRW this.

He was shouting and yelling at my family. I hid behind the door. I saw another man standing outside by the entrance door and another one inside the house. They were wearing military clothes. I couldn’t see their faces.

This is not precise about who did it.

If this story of the Abdel Razzak family can be confirmed, and it is surprising that Colville did not mention this today, it would be very damning indeed. Unless the gunmen were the terrorists who the witnesses that ANNA spoke to say arrived in the area and gave the ultimatum to kill Syrian military or die. Remember, statements from members of the Syrian government and civilians say there were clashes between the FSA and the Syrian military during the daytime. Were the Abdel Razzak family pro Assad?

But according to this statement to HRW, there were 62 members killed in this attack. Colville said today that those most of those murdered from close range were killed in just two incidents. So that leaves just one incident in which most could have been killed. When and where was that?
