    The son of a prominent political leader in Syria was assassinated overnight along with a fellow party member in another blow to UN peace efforts attempting to stabilize the country after one year of violence.

    Ismail Haidar, son of Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP) President Ali Haidar, and Fadi Atawneh was killed on the al-Mahnaya junction on the road between Homs and Masyaf, according to Syria’s official news agency, SANA.

    Note : il y a deux branches du PSNS. Selon le Akhbar, il s’agit ici de la branche qui n’est pas alignée sur le régime syrien.

      The assassination of Isma’il Haydar (the son of the leader of a splinter faction of the Syrian Social National Party) in Syria yesterday is significant. The party is a legal opposition party and is accommodating of the regime, but the leader does not shy away from criticizing strongly the Syrian regime but does not call for its overthrow. They were vocal critics of the regime when others were serving the regime, although I personally don’t trust all the “legal opposition” in Syria. I think that the Free Syrian Army and its affiliated gangs want to kill all leaders of the local opposition in Syria, to serve their exile sponsors.
