Syrian rebel bomb factory explodes, actvists decide to blame regime missile attack

 
The Syrian opposition used a recent explosion in Hama, caused by an accidental explosion in one of their own bomb making factories as an excuse to demand an emergency UN security Council Meeting to defend civilians against alleged regime brutality.

The opposition 'activists,' apparently willing to try anything on gullible Western journalists and politicians decided to portray the incident as the result of a SCUD missile attack by the Syrian army.

More than 70 civilians were said to have been killed. It later emerged that 16 people had been died when the rebels blew up their own building killing themselves and several others.

Telegraph: Syrian opposition calls for emergency UN meeting over Hama attacks

"Syria's main opposition group on Thursday called for an emergency UN Security Council meeting after reports that up to 70 people died in an explosion in Hama. 

 "Government media and opposition activists blamed each other for the explosions which ripped through the working-class district on Wednesday afternoon. Syria’s state television network said 16 people, including women and children, had died in the blast in a house that was being used as a bomb factory by “armed terrorist groups". 

 Activists speaking to the *Daily Telegraph* from close to the scene blamed the blast on Syrian military troops that they said were stationed nearby. 

"It was a missile shot by Battilion 47, which is situated near that district,” said Mousab al-Hamadee, a member of Hama’s Local Coordination Committee for the opposition. “They thought that some defectors were hiding in that part of the city.”

Describing a the bloody scene Hamadee said that many of the victims of the blast were families who had fled the violence in neighbouring Homs and had been living in the district as refugees. Activists put the body count as high as 68, including 13 children and 16 women, with more bodies still under the rubble.

Footage of the sweeping damage, including large craters in the ground looked difficult to achieve with conventional government shelling.

Activists claimed they had heard sounds resembling those of an incoming missile and suggested it may have been a Scud attack. “We heard the hiss of the rocket before it hit,” said al-Hamadee."
