Smiling from ear to ear, BBC correspondent in Syria poses with Assad terrorists

A photo of BBC correspondent in Damascus, Assaf Abboud, has recently went viral on social media. Assaf Abboud appeared wearing a big smile and posing for camera with a number of Assad terrorists’ officers in a memorial photo, celebrating putting Aleppo under siege again.

As usual, BBC rushed to provide media coverage for Assad regime, a coverage similar to that which Russian warplanes provide to Assad terrorists.

The proud smile of Abboud with Assad regime’s officers comes after dozens of victims were killed during the past days, during a surprise assault which Assad terrorists launched in order to besiege Aleppo once more after opposition was able to break the previous siege last month.

Syrian activists on social media were not surprised, observers say. Most of the comments on social media did not show astonishment. Activists, rather, viewed the photo as a continuation of an attitude that the BBC has never stopped taking, despite the many scandals which the British broadcaster had faced.

This made the BBC, in the eyes of pro-revolution Syrians, equal to Assad media, according to activists.

It is worthy to remind that this is not the first time in which Abboud is seen where a professional journalist should not. Since the beginning of the Syrian revolution, he was given the nickname of “Assad regime’s trumpet” by pro-revolution Syrians, as he always promotes Assad regime’s account of events, let alone that he accompanies Assad terrorists when storming Syrian cities.
