Three Syrians Killed In Bus Explosion...Government Says Move Along, Nothing To See Here...Just A Tire Gone Bad

You gotta admit this is pretty creative of the Syrian government...almost sounds like they communicated with Iran to get a "story" to tell regarding an explosion that claimed the lives of three Syrians.

From the article at Breitbart:

Syria's interior minister said an explosion near a bus parked at a gas station in a Damascus suburb was an accident and three people were killed.
The minister, Said Mohammad Sammour, ruled out a terrorist attack in a statement to state-run Syrian TV. He said the bus driver and two gas station workers were killed when a tire they were pumping air into exploded.

See? Nothing to worry about...just a bus tired filled a little too full and kaboom, three dead.

Nope, guess it wasn't an al Qaeda attack or perhaps the Syrian insurgency...nope, we're gonna blame this on Michelin.

Oh, by the way, I found the last sentence of the article interesting:

Police sealed off the area and reporters were banned from reaching the site.

Syria says explosion near bus was accident, 3 dead

DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) - Syria's interior minister said an explosion near a bus parked at a gas station in a Damascus suburb was an accident and three people were killed.
The minister, Said Mohammad Sammour, ruled out a terrorist attack in a statement to state-run Syrian TV. He said the bus driver and two gas station workers were killed when a tire they were pumping air into exploded.
Syrian TV quoted Sammour as saying "there were no explosives involved" in the accident. He added there were no pilgrims nearby when the explosion occurred.
An Associated Press photographer at the scene in the Sayyida Zainab suburb in southern Damascus saw a damaged bus, with the back windshield blown out. Lebanese LBC TV broadcast footage showing the heavily damaged bus from the back, the part near the engine blown apart.
The suburb is popular with Iranian and other Shiite pilgrims and is the location of a shrine dedicated to the granddaughter of the Prophet Muhammad.
Police sealed off the area and reporters were banned from reaching the site.
