Dozens of Russian generals at a military base near the eastern Syrian city of Latakia were killed Sunday afternoon in a deadly car bomb attack committed by two opposition factions, Ahrar al-Sham and Bayan movement, Syrian opposition groups reported on Wednesday.
According to the media office of Ahrar al-Sham, the two factions, in coordination with local jihadists who were located at the Russian military base, decided to bomb the car after they observed a gathering of senior Russian generals at the military base.
Ahrar al-Sham claims that dozens of Russian generals were killed and injured in the explosion. According to the movement, the announcement of the terror attack was delayed until Wednesday to ensure that the jihadists who committed the attack returned safely to opposition territories.
The military base that was hit by the car bomb is considered one of the most important military centers of the Russian forces on the Syrian coast, located some 15 kilometers from Latakia.
The belated announcement of the car bombing came shortly before the Syrian truce was scheduled to start on Saturday. Russia and the US have already announced that the ceasefire will not apply to ISIS and al-Nusra Front, but in light of this terror attack, Russia might demand the exclusion of Ahrar al-Sham as well.
“Dozens?” I was in G-2 and I don’t think I’ve ever seen dozens of flag officers in the same location.
No way dozens of generals would be Syria at one base or anywhere else for that matter. Report lacks credibility.
They might have been gathering for a Tupperware party, or maybe some scrapbooking?
This supposedly happened last sunday. And the hajis kept it secret so the bombers could escape. (because nobody else would have noticed a car bomb)
I heard the Generals were all in an underground bunker, and an athletic black soldier was last seen running along dropping grenades down air vents. He almost reminded the witnesses of a football player.
O J?
Right now they are focused on trying to get some mental defective to assassinate Trump.
Obama will call this a ceasefire pause. That is the ceasefire will resume soon.
It has been reported in several places over the past 2 days.
This is total crap. They must be facing defections and want this so the guys dont run off during ceasefire. They just waited to announce it huh?.......Absolute crap.
Every link I clicked on pointed to one source. The Jeureselum post.

Well according to your theory why did the Russians keep it a secret?
BS and stupid Crap report... no way that many High Values in one place at the same time, let alone ever known by a suicide bomber ... half that many and a Drone strike maybe but not in a hot zone (cause they wouldn’t be together to begin with)
Angling for a secret service visit?
“Dozens?†I was in G-2 and I don’t think I’ve ever seen dozens of flag officers in the same location.
And certainly not congregating in a war zone.
Quilting bee....
“Right now they are focused on trying to get some mental defective to assassinate Trump. “
Sorry, but Trump is busy assassinating our brain cells.
“I heard the Generals were all in an underground bunker, and an athletic black soldier was last seen running along dropping grenades down air vents.”
Maybe it was Obama - he just hung back for seven years to make it look hard, and now he will go all Rambo...
