""Damascus: A video has been posted on
YouTube by a news channel, which shows an
8-year-old Syrian boy braving heavy sniper
fire and risking his life to rescue a small girl
who is reportedly his younger sister.
According to reports, the one-minute clip,
posted by Shaam News Network channel,
shows the boy get up after being shot at and
run to save his sister stranded in the middle
of the road under a burnt-out truck, reported
the Telegraph.
The snipers are said to be the government
forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad.
At one point, the eight-year-old even pretends
to have been shot in the chest and falls to the
ground in order to fool the sniper and get a
break in the gunfire, before running up and
saving the girl, the International Business
Times reported.
A group of men, who film the scene from
behind the safety of a brick wall, can be heard
exclaiming “allahu akbar” (God is great) when
the boy gets up after appearing to be shot
dead.
The two run down the street hand-in-hand as
they are shot at again, with bullets kicking up
dust around them, but they both appear to
survive.""


On a side note, frick those cowards shooting at kids.....

Dang! Did Steven Spielberg have anything to do with this?

@WalkSoftly: I just heard on ABC - Washington DC, radio. That the entire incidence was fake.! Made by a filmmaker from Norway who CLAIMS, " I just wanted to open the discussion on children in war torn zones ". SMFH !

Good call there .

Had a weurd feelubg it was gonna turn out yo be fake...oh well

@WalkSoftly: I didn't view the link. I was suspicious just reading " Allahu Akbar".. Just seemed a little too convient... like religious/ political propaganda.

Arabic or not "allahu akbar" is correct... God really is great.

@Roachvaliek: Yes :-) of course he is. Arabic or not.. I'm talking about the war, the little hero, the innocent little girl, the timing.. And men yelling that in the bad ground.." Too good to be true ". I think the Norway film maker is making a polical statement, which is also rampant in Hollywood.
It's 'propaganda.. Like in all wars, any language, any country. Our media does it every damn day.

Very true.

@Roachvaliek: It just gets me annoyed, using kids for shock value, empathy & polical gain..& of course as victims or soldiers.
