Assad awarded the pilot responsible for the horrific chemical attack on Idlib
The Assad regime has awarded a prestigious badge to the pilot who is responsible for carrying out last week’s deadly chemical attack on the Idlib town of Khan Shaykhun. The attack is reported to have killed approximately 100 civilians.
The award ceremony was organized by the General Staff, during which the pilot, named Yusuf al-Hasuri, received “the badge of bravery”, a high honor that the Syrian Army reserves for “distinguished” soldiers.
The chemical massacre occurred on April 4th in Khan Shaykhun, when regime airplanes bombed the northern Syrian town using Sarin gas, killing some 100 civlians, the majority of whom were women and children, and wounding 500 others.
Reports of the pilot receiving “the badge of bravery” obviously attracted a lot of angry reactions, due to the large number of women and children who were killed in the inhumane chemical attack.
