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."

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

LMAO

0bama response (to Muslims moving armor close to mosques): “We can’t risk collateral damage.”

Putin response (to Muslims moving armor close to mosques): “See target - bomb target!”

‘nough said.

Cromwell didn’t seem to have a problem blowing up churches on Ireland. Why should the Russians have a problem blowing up Mosques in Syria?

dude? Respectfully speaking, the mosques are also the hubs of sharia, the muslim state. Often these ARE the armoury.

Quit thinking like a white western Christian.

If you want to win, you have to take out the armouries.

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

We need a President that will remove 99.99% of the idiotic ROE placed upon our Warriors.

It bugged me to no end to see video after video of our Warriors having to get approval before unloading upon an enemy -- sheer insanity.

I hope Putin orders every last muslim in ISIS controlled areas terminated.

Article reads..."Russia says militants in Syria are moving armor close to mosques"..............Well of course they would since most of the Mosques are their base headquarters for staging and supply during conflicts. So they are not by any means off limits to bombing, in fact to the contrary. ...... The Muslim Brotherhood used them heavily during the Egyptian Revolution...also as a place of torture.

Unlike the US, Putin is not afraid to break a few mosques.

Russia respects religious facilities and that the terrorists know this very well how Russia sees this.

Would be a tragedy if some of those armories, whoops! I mean Mosques. Were to be blowed up real good.
