DAMASCUS, Feb. 6 (Xinhua) -- An "armed terrorist group" on Monday blasted an oil pipeline in Syria's central province of Homs, the latest attack of a series of explosions targeting the country' s energy sector, state-run SANA news agency said.

The explosion took place in Jouber area in Homs, said SANA, adding that the targeted pipeline transports oil to the coastal city of Tartous.

The blast occurred just 12 hours after unidentified armed group detonated another gas pipeline Sunday midnight near Talbiseh town in Homs, causing leakage of a large amount of gas.

Quoting an oil ministry source, SANA said that pumping gas has been immediately halted in the pipeline transporting gas from Omar field toward a power-generating station in Mharda area in Hama province, also located in central Syria.

At least seven pipelines have been targeted since the eruption of unrest in Syria in mid March, 2011. Syria held what it called " saboteurs" responsible for the attacks.

The Chinese government now has openly declared these rebel groups as terrorists, so it should be ok to directly supply the Syrian government to fight against those terrorists.

Nothing to be happy about. It only shows we will see more bloodshed between both sides.
The problem of Syria should be settled through negotiations and without foreign interference, not by pushing the country into a civil war.

These terrorists don't want the negociation, while they keep attacking the Syrian government under the double standard of their western masters.

Indeed, Syria needs the reform, but before the reform, the Syrian government should eliminate those harmful western backed insurgency.

My best wish to the Syrian people.

The problem is Arabs have almost no history of democratic movements, I'm not looking down on them, I respect their struggle for freedom and democracy, but they are not experienced because there is almost no history of real popular revolutions in the Arab world. I know that Egypt and Iraq have some history regarding that issue, but it was never done by the people without foreign influence in my opinion.

I'm very concerned about Syria. I feel that some innocent people have got excited by a few betrayers who are creating problems for everyone. Usually in such situations, people got too emotional that they can't clearly see what they're doing to their country. Most Syrians now must be quite excited and emotional about the things happening around them and that has possibly caused to get divided and forget that if anything wrong happens to Syria, they should put the blame only on themselves. I believe at this situation the best option for both sides is to negotiate and settle the issue peacefully before this ugly situation gets worsened by the USA, UK, France, China, Russia, Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and others...

I think after the elimination of the terrorist insurgency, Iran should play the main role to set up for the peaceful negociation for the reform in Syria, while China and Russia play the supporting role.

link please..
are you sending anti-teror teams? what?

I agree with you about the negotiation part, but I'm afraid the elimination process is not as easy as you say. The Syrian regime should do more intelligence operations and assassinate the heads of the rebels instead of sending tanks to pound the innocent people that are just helping the rebels out of excitement.

I'm afraid that the Syrian government is giving legitimacy to these rebels to fight back with guns by over reacting and that is exactly what the USA and NATO want.

How about the Hezbollah? Can they do this bidding for the Syrian government?

 

[Syrian Lion]

This is not the first time, those terrorists trying so hard to cause oil crisis in Syria, I'm gonna be honest oil and gas are rare in suburbs villages and it costs a lot, so those terrorists want to pressure so the people turn against our government, but dont those terrorists know they are messing with Syria and the Syrian People.

 

[Arian]

How about the Hezbollah? Can they do this bidding for the Syrian government?

Yea, they could, but Syria is much bigger than Lebanon and Hizbullah could only be used to do the assassinations carefully, not the intelligence part. I think the Syrian government needs to have a strong intelligence agency that can assassinate the rebels' main persons 'peacefully' and end this ugly violence that has engulfed Syria now. Syria is suffering because Assad is desperate and doesn't know whom he should kill and whom he should not kill. This is where China, Iran and Russia should help the Syrian government. If the violence ends, the situation will be under control and innocent people won't get killed any more, and moreover, the North Atlantic terrorists won't set their feet on the Syrian soil just to kill the Syrians under the pretext of democracy and steal their wealth.

 

[Syrian Lion]

Trust me Alasad is not killing at all, why would he ask for more trouble.
Who is killing then?? The "peaceful" protesters themselves, isn't so easy to kill anti-gov, and blame the gov't???
thats the easiest thing. In all the videos i watched i never saw an army men shooting at anyone, all the videos i saw is dead people but who killed them? i hear gun shots, but who is shooting??

AlDabi reports said the Syrian Army is defensive and there are terrorists in Syria.

...This is where China, Iran and Russia should help the Syrian government...

What about Iraqi support? Are they not pro-Iran which would help Syria? I'm not sure what kind of help Syria can get from China, Iran and Russia. I suppose hardware from Russia and intelligence from Iran; no clue about China.

Iraq doesn't have a strong intelligence agency yet I think. They are yet to get fully independent from the Americans.
Russia has inherited the formidable KGB and even now has a formidable and powerful intelligence agencies which is very capable.
China has succeeded to keep the country with over 1.2 Billion people quiet for several decades and so far all western attempts to destabilize China has failed. That's plausible.
Iran's intelligence agency inherits the CIA, MI6 and Mossad trainings given to the pre-revolution SAVAK. Iran's intelligence agency has successfully come out victorious in many western attempts to create a 'soft' and 'colorful' revolution in Iran in the last years, it also has been successfully suppressing separatists for decades silently and it has assassinated many of its main opposition figures outside of Iran in Europe as well.

Russia and China can be pretty useful when it comes to equipments and Iran's experiences can be pretty useful when it comes to suffocating a western instigated revolution in practice.

This way innocent Syrians who have got excited by the things they see and the things they hear won't get killed any more and also the situation won't go out of control. This is what Syria needs now I think.
