Syrian government denies US allegations of mass killings – By Philip Issa/ May 16 2017
The Syrian government on Tuesday “categorically” denied U.S. accusations of mass killings at a prison near Damascus, including executing political opponents and burning the victims in a crematorium at the site.
The allegations are “a new Hollywood plot” to justify U.S. intervention in Syria, a statement from the Foreign Ministry said. It described the U.S. State Department accusations from the day before as “lies” and “fabrications,” noting what it called a U.S. track record of making up false claims as a pretext for military aggression.
The State Department said on Monday that it believes about 50 detainees are being hanged each day at the Saydnaya military prison, about 45 minutes’ drive north of Damascus.
Many of the bodies are then burned in the crematorium “to cover up the extent of mass murders taking place,” said Stuart Jones, the top U.S. diplomat for the Middle East, accusing President Bashar Assad’s government of sinking “to a new level of depravity.”
