Just wondering why there are 2 posts pinned covering the same topic on Syria/Turkey.

Possibly to force people away from thinking/seeing other thread/topics?

The typist of this post in no way agrees or disagrees with the content.

UNHCR: Ninety Five thousand Lebanese-Syrian Borders

With the rise of the Foreign-Backed militant groups creating violence, which have swept Syria for the past nineteen months, some 95,000 refugees have sought shelter in neighboring Lebanon.

Despite the skyrocketing of this figure to three-times since August, humanitarian organizations warn that it only includes those who have their names registered and not those who have fled through the very porous 220 km long Lebanese-Syrian borders.

Dude, this is important, WW3 is at the doorstep waiting to be unleashed by the NWO.

Yes the topic is important but surely one pinned post would suffice, no? Then we would not have to keep swapping to another post. Don't mean to rattle anyone's cage here, just thinking out loud.

Yes exactly, i have begin this thread two days ago, and this
is actually the only thread with no part or side

others here still posting the same articles after me
So get on this one because its gonna be the official syria crisis or war thread since things are moving fast in the middle east.

Syrian rebels fight to keep route to safe havens in Lebanon

The Syrian Army's pounding of the territory between Homs and the Lebanese border has sent hundreds of Syrian fighters and civilians fleeing to the Lebanese town of Masharih al-Qaa.

The Russian Mi-24 helicopter gunship, just visible in the dawn haze, performed large sedate circles high above the Syrian border village of Jusiyah, seemingly confident that it faced no threat from the Free Syrian Army fighters hidden below.

As it flew over the village again, a powerful blast among the buildings sent up a cloud of black smoke and a shockwave that thumped across the border into Lebanon and over the flat fields and orchards of Masharih al-Qaa to the south.

With Turkey-Syria escalation, worries grow about a tip into war

Tension has steadily risen for months along Turkey's long shared border with Syria, spiking with the Syrian shoot-down of a Turkish jet fighter this summer and again last week as Turkey responded to Syrian artillery shells landing on its side of the border. Turkey says it doesn't want war, but it is far from clear where the tit-for-tat with Syria will stop.

Islamic militants help seize missile base in Syria

Fighters from a shadowy militant group with suspected links to al-Qaida joined Syrian rebels in seizing a government missile defense base in northern Syria on Friday, according to activists and amateur video.

It was unclear if the rebels were able to hold the base after the attack, and analysts questioned whether they would be able to make use of any of the missiles they may have spirited away.

Nevertheless, the assault underscored fears of advanced weaponry falling into the hands of extremists playing an increasingly large role in Syria's civil war.

Hospital in Syrian city barely copes with wounded

ALEPPO, Syria (AP) — The injured arrive at the hospital in taxis or in the back of pickup trucks, to the blare of car horns and shouts of "Help!"

Sometimes, they are battle-hardened rebels with gaping wounds. Sometimes, they are children, peppered with shrapnel and screaming in pain.

Those who die are left on the sidewalk outside, to be claimed hours later by relatives.

5 killed, 25 injured in mortar attack in Damascus

At least five people have been killed and 25 others, including children, injured in a mortar attack in Damascus, Press TV reports.

The attack, which was carried out on Friday, targeted the Yarmouk Palestinian refugee camp in the Syrian capital, leveling a residential block.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack so far, but Syrian officials put the blame on foreign-backed insurgents, who have carried out similar attacks in the past.
