Deployment of Robert Ford U.S. ambassador to Syria on Facebook social networking on the Internet satellite images to give evidence of the government attacks on residential areas and that only days after the closure of the U.S. embassy in Damascus.
These images Bagmar industrial and commercial, which was titled "the escalation of security operations in Homs" dated on the sixth of February and the cards entitled refers to buildings and smoke and burning pits caused by severe trauma and military vehicles and armored vehicles.
The city of Homs in western Syria, where there are strong opposition to the Syrian president Bashar al-Assad's week of bombing that killed dozens of civilians and drawing condemnation from world leaders.
And the perception of the media the official Syrian revolt against al-Assad as a measure of "terrorists", backed from abroad.
Ford said in a note associated with the satellite images on Facebook, "I hear about stories damaging to newborns in Homs are dying in hospitals, cutting off electricity and when we see images disturbing that provide evidence on the use of the system for mortar and artillery against residential neighborhoods, we are all more worried about the result is catastrophic for civilians Syrians. "
And also seemed to draw the criticism of Ford indirectly to Russia, which were used on Saturday vetoed a draft UN Security Council resolution on Syria. Diplomats said that among the Russian objections to believe that the draft resolution blames inappropriately on the Syrian government in the violence.
Ford said "It's strange for me to try any person equality between the work of the Syrian army and armed opposition groups, because the Syrian government always initiate attacks on civilian areas and using heavier weapons."
The United States closed its embassy in Damascus for security reasons on Monday, the same day the letter of these images.
Ford said in Mlaahtth "I can say without exaggeration that the sixth of February was more onerous days from the psychological point through my work as an administrator in the Foreign Service.
"I left Damascus with sadness and regret adults and I wished was not necessary, but we leave our embassy along with a lot of diplomatic missions in the region were not sufficiently protected in the light of new security concerns in the capital."
Ford said he would continue to work to support a peaceful transition. "The year I spent in Syria, explains to me that such a transformation is possible, but not at the time hasten when one side is constantly attacking the people who were sheltering in their homes."
