“Syria’s foreign ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi
categorically denied government responsibility for the Houla massacre, saying a
military judiciary committee was set up to investigate, and its findings will
be made public in three days. If the regime is so confident of its innocence, why does it not
involve a team from UNSMIS [United Nations Supervision
Mission in Syria] in the investigation
so the findings can be completely aboveboard?”
