Global Research.Org, an Open Society NGO from Canada is confirming that most of the 30+ wounded Rebels that died when the truck was hit in Donetsk were executed by shots to the head.
Also in today’s update:
-Donetsk Airport freight terminal is burned and partly destroyed. Kiev is believed to be in control of the airport at this time. Damage to the terminal building is unknown.
-The attempt to seize Donetsk Airport was reinforced by Vostok Brigade. Casualties were heavy in the brigade but numbers unknown.
-Numerous bombardments last evening and this morning of civilian areas of Slavyansk, Donetsk, Mariupol and Lugansk City and suburbs, civilian casualties are heavy with more than 70 reported dead and wounded.
-Major movements of Kiev forces as of 05 local time this morning have not commenced. More information on this later.
-As of 11:30 local time scattered probing attacks are reported around Slavyansk.
-As of 10:05 local time the situation in Mariupol is unknown.
-No major attacks by the Nats today, just numerous small probes.
-Evacuation is being attempted in Slavyansk for civilians but it is not possible, the city is cut off and surrounded to an extent. Don’t know if this is true or if it is a charade to mask the evacuation of at least the children. Reality is Slavyansk has to large a population to evacuate, 120,000.
-Scattered artillery and mortar attacks continue in the vicinity of Slavyansk and the outskirts of Donetsk, almost all at random civilian residential areas. Some casualties but number is unknown.
-No information on the situation in either Lugansk Oblast or Mariupol in Donetsk Oblast

According to Global Research's own website, they are headed by a man named Michel Chossudovsky, and sports associates like Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya, an 'anti-Zionist' Iranian who supports unrestricted uranium enrichment by Iran, and F. William Engdahl, who is connected to perennial nutcase Lyndon LaRouche.
All three are favorite "independent journalists" of RT, PressTV and Russian media, and Global Research constantly uses them as reliable sources. All three are also on the scientific board of Geopolitica, under the editor Tiberio Graziani, whose Russian connections are confirmed due to his being a leader of a Russian expansionist movement headed by Alexander Dugin.
Tentative conclusion: Global Research is yet another quasi-independent propaganda agency of the Kremlin, whose leaders are rewarded through payments made under the excuse of being on Geopolitica's board, which essentially functions as a money laundering front for the FSB's propagandists.
I found this part of Operation INFEKTION particularly interesting:
"Dissemination was usually along a recognized pattern: propaganda and disinformation would first appear in a country outside of the USSR and only then be picked up by a Soviet news agency, which attributed it to others’ investigative journalism. That the story came from a foreign source (not widely known to be Soviet controlled or influenced) added credibility to the allegations, especially in impoverished and less educated countries which generally could not afford access to Western news satellite feeds. To aid in media placement, Soviet propaganda was provided free of charge, and many stories came with cash benefits.[11] This was particularly the case in India and Ghana, where the Soviet Union maintained a large propaganda and disinformation apparatus for covert media placement."
...sound familiar?
