Russia says militants in Syria are moving armour close to mosques

Reuters – 1 hour 13 minutes ago.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Russian defence ministry said its planes had struck 12 Islamic State targets in Syria on Tuesday, saying the militants had begun to move their weapons and armoured vehicles into residential areas to try to protect them.

...

"The terrorists are undertaking efforts to move their weapons into the residential areas of cities," the ministry said. "As a rule the militants place armoured vehicles close to mosques knowing very well that we would never target them (mosques)."

...

"We do not rule out that here and in other populated areas the terrorists are deliberately preparing provocations such as blowing up mosques to produce fake photographs and video clips which could be used to accuse the Russian air force."

In truth—Russia doesn’t care—in WW II see all the blown up German Churches? War is Hell—Not a PR Photo-op. ISIS are soon going to taste Hell on a grand scale.

Well.....I guess if they are going to involve mosques in warfare, the mosques will have to be neutralized.

Who says Russians won’t bomb mosques? That’s ridiculous. Everyone knows only Americans play by those BS rules. Remember when the Russians gassed everyone in that movie theater — hostages and all? They do not care.

Who says Russians won’t bomb mosques? The Russians themselves. Clearly if a mosque is bombed that was ISIS doing it to themselves. Wink-wink

After the smoke clears.

Putin proclaims, "I don't see no stinking mosque."

I like the Russian rules of engagement. Just destroy the enemy.
