So more news directly taken from the elusive Observatory for Human Rights in Syria, a group based in London (coincidentally the same place the Muslim Brotherhood have their seat)?
So all news we've had from Syria lately comes from them, yet we have no information whatsoever on who they are, where their sources come from and what their aim is. News agencies don't even bother to check and cross-check. It's quite telling on the current state of "journalism", and on how little critical thinking people have nowadays.

This is an interesting read on the subject.
