Stagings declared as videos taken “on site” were shot in Qatar
In the vicinity of the capital Doha, a Qatar set-creation enterprise is shooting the latest news stories about events that are supposed to happen in Syria, the Syrian news agency SANA is reporting, citing their own sources.
In the vicinity of the town az-Zubara, a suburb of Doha, there were buildings and streets resembling the Syrian cities Damascus, Latakia and Aleppo. Currently, vehicles, including military jeeps, with Syrian number plates and Syrian army uniforms are being brought to this place in order to simulate actions of the Syrian government troops.
With these artificial sets and real actors, Arab and Western news stations opposed to the Assad regime were trying to create a new wave in the information war, SANA claimed. The goal was to convince the world community of the necessity of a military intervention in Syria.
On Wednesday, in a bombing of the building of the National Security Service in Damascus, at least three senior members of the Syrian leadership were killed. Immediately after the bombing, the Syrian Ministry of Information communicated that Western and Arabic media were using the tragedy to produce panic among the population and to represent the occurrences in a wrong manner. •
