[quote:DoorBert:MV8xNzA5MzQ3XzI4MjYxMDc1XzE5RUEwQTY4] MOSCOW - Russia accused Western nations of undermining the chances for a peaceful resolution in Syria on Monday, saying the West was urging President Bashar Assad's opponents not to seek compromise with the government. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's remarks were the latest sign of support for Assad from Russia, which joined China last month in vetoing a Western-drafted UN Security Council resolution condemning his government's eight-month crackdown on protests. http://www.jpost.com/International/Article.aspx?ID=246395&R=R1&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter [/quote]

False-flag? A pretext for Turkey to launch operations into Syria?
Pilgrims returning from hajj attacked by men in Syrian army uniforms, wounding two and raising tensions with Turkey.
A bus carrying Turkish pilgrims came under fire in neighbouring Syria as they were travelling back from the hajj, leaving two injured and prompting harsh words from Turkey's prime minister.
Turkish NTV news channel reported on Monday that a bus driver and pilgrim were wounded in the attack at a checkpoint just across the Syrian border. The bus was part of a three-bus convoy returning from Saudi Arabia.
A video posted online showed the apparent aftermath of the attack, including several shattered windows and one person being carried on a stretcher by ambulance staff.
