File photo shows people gathered to look at the damage following a car bomb attack in the Syrian city of Aleppo
Syrian security guards said on Friday that the bomb explosion occurred near Press TV’s office in Damascus after a man was caught on camera sticking something to a car.
According to reports, he escaped the scene of the attack minutes before the blast.
However, the bomb attack did not cause any casualties.
On September 26, militants in Damascus attacked Press TV staff, killing the Iranian English-language news network’s correspondent Maya Naser, and injuring its Damascus Bureau Chief Hosein Mortada.
Syria has been the scene of unrest since March 2011. Many people, including large numbers of security forces, have lost their lives in the turmoil.
The Syrian government says foreign-backed “terrorists” are responsible for the killings, and that certain Western states, especially the United States, and their regional allies are fueling the turmoil.$

These are the same people Amy Goodman refers as “activists” and who CNN reporters helped blow up an oil pipeline http://friendsofsyria.wordpress.com/2012/03/23/cnn-crew-linked-with-homs-bombings/
Press TV and Russia Today are the true alternative media that both Amy Goodman’s DemocracyNow and CNN wish would go away.
