Downing of helicopter - activist's account

An activist in Damascus has insisted that the helicopter was shot down by rebels after a night of heavy aerial bombardment.

Susan Ahmad, a spokeswoman for the Revolutionary Command Council for Damascus and its suburbs, denied state media reports that the helicopter had simply crashed over Douma.

Speaking to the Guardian via Skype, she said:

This morning at 9.30am the Free Syrian Army manage to shoot down a helicopter. But until now there is no brigade that has claimed responsibility for this operation ...

I can’t confirm that 100%. This is what I got to know from eye witnesses in the area. It is not a guess. They say that the helicopter was hovering over the area when members of the Free Syrian Army targeted the helicopter using light weapons. They managed to shoot it down.

The helicopter came down in Tel al-Kurdi on the outskirts of Douma. We hope that we can get pictures and videos in the coming hours, after the Free Syrian Army claims responsibility.

Ahmad said the incident came after a night of heavy bombardment:


It was a very bad night. Helicopters and MiG warplanes didn’t stop. They were hovering over Damascus all the night.

They were bombarding the southern part of Damascus.


It is common to hear the sound of explosions inside Damascus every minute, she claimed.

People are trying not to leave their homes unless they really need to, because they don’t feel safe any more.
