30 Army and Law Enforcement Members Injured by Armed Terrorist Groups in Homs

Jul 23, 2011


HOMS, (SANA)-More than 30 army and law enforcement members were injured, some severely, by armed terrorist groups in Bab Sba' in Homs.

They arrived at the Military Hospital in Homs on Thursday and Friday.

One of the injured army members told the Syrian TV "We were on a mission in Bab Sba' to protect the citizens from armed terrorists who terrorize people. When we got into the area, we were exposed to random and intense gunfire from all directions."

He added "I was shot while I was helping my comrade who had been shot by armed men."

Another injured member said "I was shot in the shoulder by snipers who shielded behind roadblocks and ramparts,'' noting that the armed terrorists in the area were many, equipped with most up-to-date arms and sniper rifles.

A third injured says "When we rushed to help our injured comrades in Bab Sba', the armed terrorist groups began shooting at us intensively from all directions, and I was shot in the abdomen."

A doctor at the Military Hospital in Homs said "30 injured from the army and law enforcement members were hospitalized with injuries on Thursday and Friday,'' adding that the injuries range from light to severe, mostly to the limbs, abdomen and shoulders, and surgical operations were performed.
