Gas cylinders bombs in Syria

Gas cylinder bombs have become a stable of the brutal techniques of the Syrian armed groups just as the barrel bombs used by the Syrian regime (and by the Lebanese Army against the Nahr Al-Barid camp when Western governments provided the explosives for the barrel bombs of the Army).  Yet, neither the Western media nor the lousy Western human rights organizations that serve as mere arms of US foreign policy have uttered a word about the gas cylinder bombs of the rebels groups. Yesterday, the gas cylinder bombs rained over Aleppo killing scores of people.  That won't produce on report or memo by Human Rights Watch which basically ensures that its reports are not offensive to Israeli foreign ministry (and its "pro-Israeli donors" as they were called by its director in internal memos leaked to me a few years ago).
