DAMASCUS, (SANA)- The Syrian TV screened a footage showing more aspects of falsification and fabrication of facts practiced by Arab and Western satellite channels as part of the media war launched against Syria.
The footage broadcast on Thursday, which filmed the process of sabotaging an oil transfer pipeline in al-Sulaymanieh region in Homs countryside by armed terrorist groups, revealed that the camera operators were CNN correspondents who entered Syria illegally through the Lebanese borders and seemed to have coordinated with the saboteurs to film a video of the attack and send it to their channel. Heard on the footage were the voices of CNN security affairs photographer Tim Crockett and correspondent Arwa Damon asking photojournalist Neil Hallsworth if he was ok as he felt suffocated by the smoke from the attack on the oil pipeline and if he needed to see a doctor.
While Damon was reporting live on the CNN that claimed that the Syrian army was behind the attack to deflect suspicion of any coordination, if not to say involvement, with the terrorist saboteurs, the same footage- proved by comparisons highlighted by the Syrian TV, was then screened live from the same camera which seemed to have been set up a day before the attack in a place where the attack can be filmed.
A similar comparison had previously been made between a report by another CNN correspondent Danny Dayem who claimed that al-Khalidiyeh region in Homs was being bombarded and a footage of Danny showing how he was coordinating sound effects of shooting and shelling with his team to attack to his reporting.
Faced with criticisms by several U.S. TV channels, newspapers and websites over its correspondent's fabrication, the CNN was forced to conduct an interview with Danny claiming he was an activist and not one of its staff and to obliterate a photo of him taken along with the channel's team of correspondents in Homs.
