Army destroys convoy of terrorists in northwestern Syria

The Syrian army destroyed a convoy of vehicles transferring Al-Qaeda-linked armed rebels in the Northwestern province of Homs and killed all the terrorists on board. The army’s units targeted and destroyed a convoy of Al-Nusra terrorists in the two villages of Jebab Hamd and Rasm Hamid of Jeb Al-Jarah region in Homs province, an army spokesman told FNA on Tuesday. The spokesman stressed that all the terrorist on the vehicles have been killed in the army operation. The conflict in Syria started in March 2011, when sporadic pro-reform protests turned into a massive insurgency following the intervention of western and regional states. The unrest, which took in terrorist groups from across Europe, the Middle-East and North Africa, has transpired as one of the bloodiest conflicts in recent history. As the foreign-backed insurgency in Syria continues without an end in sight, the US government has boosted its political and military support to Takfiri extremists. Washington has remained indifferent to warnings by Russia and other world powers about the consequences of arming militant groups.
