Syrian forces have foiled a major terror plot just a day after twin blasts killed 56 and injured hundreds more in Damascus. The authorities are calling on the UN, saying the country has become a hotbed of terrorism supported from abroad.

­National security forces have killed a bomber who had 1,200 kilos of explosives in his car, in the northern city of Aleppo.

This comes as Syria says it has a list of 26 terrorists – some affiliated with al-Qaeda – who were detained in recent clashes, which it will send to the UN Security Council.

Syria's envoy Bashar Jaafari also promised to deliver a list of 12 foreign terrorists who were killed in Syria.

“We have a list that contains 12 names of foreign terrorists killed in Syria, including one French citizen, one British citizen, one Belgian citizen,” Jaafari told the Council.

On Friday Damascus sent a number of official letters to the UN claiming that the attacks are being sponsored from abroad.

“Continuous crimes show that Syria has run into terror groups, which get military and financial support from those who claimed support of these terror attacks and encourage them,” one letter read.

Damascus has also said that Thursday’s bombings are further evidence of the activity of terrorist groups supported from Turkey and Libya.

Meanwhile, the opposition suspects that the Assad government is behind the Friday blast, and accuses it of cooperating with al-Qaeda, saying the relationship between the two is “very strong.''  

“The Syrian regime wanted, through these terrorist explosions, to support its silly story of the presence of armed and terrorist gangs,” Burhan Ghalioun, chief of the opposition Syrian National Council, said in a statement delivered in a video broadcast.

There are about 170 UN observers in Syria now, sent there to monitor the situation. Local people have shown a great desire to report to the observers the conditions on the ground, RT`s Sarah Firth reports from Syria.

Last month the UN Security Council agreed to send 300 observers to Syria to oversee the conflict and control the implementation of Kofi Annan’s six-point peace plan.

Many of the US Zionists who defected to the Republican Party from Democratic Party in 1996, are Russia-hating, Zionist Khazarian Jews. They have now defected back over to the Democratic Party and backing Obama...the sock puppet of the pathological Russia-hating Zbigniew Brzezinsky and George Soros.
There are growing border problems between Ukraine and Russia, both areas formerly part of the Khazarian Empire. Ukraine had the audacity to inform Russia it could no longer park its Black Sea fleet at Sevastopol, Ukraine. The Kiev government is firmly under the control of Zionist Jews, as is the Tbilisi, Georgia regime.
 
In both Georgia and Ukraine, the dirty hands of George Soros can be found because he has been pushing for 'White Stream 1 and 2' pipelines from Georgia to Ukraine as a supply link to the EU to lessen the growing energy might of Russia. George Soros is Hungarian by birth of Khazarian Jew origin.
 
Thi s entire area that used to be Khazaria is loaded with oil and natural gas and these Khazarian Jews have had an axe to grind with Russia for over 1,000 years.
 
Zion ist Khazarian Jews absolutely have to have the muscle of the United States to pursue these stupid, petty, long-since-dead illusions of grandeur and empire.
 
The re are many wonderful people of the Jewish faith and heritage who are tired of being used and sacrificed by Zionism and they are doing everything possible to put a final stop to it and awaken people to the REAL problem.

The Russians have had to defend Russia against the machinations of these Fake Jews for 1,000 years.

Even the famous "Steps of Potemkin" in Odessa, Ukraine (very close to Izmail, Ukraine) are in honor of a paramour of Catherine the Great and his contribution in defending Ukraine and Russia from the Ottoman-Khazarian hordes that were trying to take over Europe and Russia.
 
The se Khazar Jews constitute nothing but psychopathic, warmongering, blood-thirsty evil on feet. They now control the power structure of the US and UK. Part of their deep-seated hatred for Russia goes back 1,000 years when Russia upended their empire and sent them packing. Then Genghis Khan sent many of them and the Russians fleeing when the Mongols arrived in town. Many of the Khazars fled to Turkey and were intimately involved in the formation of the Ottoman Empire, the attempted conquer of Europe, and repeated attacks across the Black Sea at Mother Russia. This was yet another 'hate Russia' routine from these cretins.

The US Neocons, and those of the UK and Israel, are to a large extent Trotskyites, Zionist Jew or Christian Zionist Sheeple who do not know enough about history and the legacy these Khazarian Jews have left in their path. There are huge differences in the Biblical 12 Tribes and these Khazars who have embedded themselves into Judaism like a tick on a hound dog.
 
They have been so despicably murderous to Russians that a special word just for them was created - "zhids".
 
Th ese people have always had visions of rebuilding the grandeur of their Khazar Empire for over 1,000 years. It is this group of Jewish squatters who pushed the hardest, and in the most evil and deceitful ways, to get the UN, US and UK to establish Israel in 1948.
 
Most of us Baby Boomers, now age 50-65, have now witnessed 60 years of atrocities by 'poor little Israel' and these Zionist Khazar thugs but that was preceded by the colossal atrocities of killing about 50 million Russians, another 55 million killed in World War II, and the list goes on and on.
