RT

Damascus has a recording of conversations between the American military and Islamic State terrorists ahead of the US-led coalition airstrike that hit Syrian troops near Deir ez-Zor on September 17, the speaker of the People’s Council of Syria said.

“The Syrian Army intercepted the communications between the Americans and Daesh [Arabic pejorative for Islamic State/IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL] ahead of the attack on Deir ez-Zor,” Hadiya Khalaf Abbas said, as cited by Sputnik Arabic.  

According to the People’s Council speaker, the Syrian authorities have evidence that the US-led coalition’s airstrike was a deliberate act.

Abbas promised that details of the recording will be released by Damascus.

Syrian troops encircled by Islamic State militants near the town of Deir ez-Zor were bombed by US-led coalition warplanes on September 17.

Sixty-two soldiers were killed and over 100 injured in the airstrike, which was immediately followed by an offensive by jihadists on the positions of government forces.

The bombing was stopped only after the Russian military contacted the US side several times, saying that they were attacking the wrong targets.

Washington acknowledged the fact of the airstrike against the Syrian troops and even apologized for the mistake.

The incident dealt a serious blow to the Syrian ceasefire deal, which Moscow and Washington agreed earlier in September.

During his speech at the UN General Assembly during the weekend, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem also said that the bombing of Syrian troops by the US-led coalition was a deliberate attack, not a mistake as Washington claims.

“The Syrian government puts all the responsibility for the aggression on the US, as the facts show that it was a deliberate attack, but not a mistake – even if America says the opposite,” Muallem said, adding that the bombing “proves that the US and its allies are accomplices of Islamic State and other terror groups.”

  1. “During his speech at the UN General Assembly during the weekend, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem also said that the bombing of Syrian troops by the US-led coalition was a deliberate attack, not a mistake as Washington claims.”

    Claims from Washington have about as much credibility as claims out of Tel Aviv.

    Come to think of it, they’re one and the same these days.

  2. Any brain dead retard can see who these air strikes are meant to protect. Let’s also not forget the numerous times before this incident that U.S. and israeli strikes hit Syrian forces and left isis unmolested. Strange, makes one think their actually using and defending Isis and co.

  3. There’s no honor among thieves. So brash they are, they rob us blind in the light of day and say “What you gonna do about it?” You gonna make efforts to restore our republic or go watch American Idol. Simple choice. Dire consequences.

    They had to coordinate efforts, after all, everyone knows we are our own worst enemy. We had to make up a “bad guy” to convince the American people that they were under threat. We are ISIS.
    No if’s, and’s, or but’s, create the problem, provide the solution.

    If there’s an attack upon American soil, you can be sure our government is involved. Follow the money.
