Helicopters used in the massacre of over 200 people in Tremseh, Syria, were those serviced with communications equipment and expertise from the Italian/UK defence company, Finmeccanica. Details of how Finmeccanica have been providing expert advice to the Assad regime were recently provided by the publishing house, Wikileaks. The information had been provided to Wikileaks by the Anonymous hactivists network. Last week Darker Net revealed that the heads of the UK subsidiary of Finmeccanica were former directors of GCHQ, the UK spy agency, and permanent secretaries of the British Ministry of Defence. That the communications equipment and expertise provided to Syria was supplied by the Finmeccanica parent company prior to the current escalation in the conflict does nor absolve Finmeccanica or its UK subsidiary, for none of the directors in either company can pretend ignorance of how that equipment and expertise could be used, particularly given their own expert background in the intelligence business.The US now believes that chemical weapons are being readied for deployment in Syria. This, together with news of this latest massacre, could be the trigger for a US-led intervention.The massacre took place in the early hours of Friday morning. Twenty-four hours earlier, Government forces surrounded the village and opened fire with mortars and artillery. An Alawite pro-government militia, the Shabiha, then moved in and started carrying out executions. The Hama Revolutionary Council said: "It appears that Alawite militiamen from surrounding villages descended on Tremseh after its rebel defenders pulled out, and started killing the people. Whole houses have been destroyed and burned from the shelling," Reuters also quoted an activist from the Union of Hama Revolutionaries, Ahmed, as saying: "We have reports of more than 220 killed. So far, we have 20 victims recorded with names and 60 bodies at a mosque. There are more bodies in the fields, bodies in the rivers and in houses … people were trying to flee from the time the shelling started and whole families were killed trying to escape." According to Al-Jazeera, "Bodies were found of people killed by knives, and some bodies burnt". Warnings that an attack was being planned were tweeted 18 hours beforehand.From Reuters: "A detailed account by activists before news of the massacre emerged said at 6.00am on Thursday, a convoy of 25 vehicles carrying army and security forces, three armoured vehicles and five trucks mounted with artillery passed West through the town of Muharda and headed toward the village of Tremseh. They blockaded the village from all four sides and began violently and randomly firing on houses as a helicopter flew overhead. As the attack happened the electricity and telephone lines were cut. Residents gathered in the streets in a state of fear and panic. They were unable to flee because of the blockade from every side," the report posted on activist Web sites said. After that, fierce clashes erupted between the heroic Free Syrian Army and Assad's army. Assad's gangs attacked the village school and completely destroyed it. Many people were injured."A statement by the Hama Revolutionary Council, which reported that more than 220 people were killed and 600 wounded, said: "The town of Tremseh, which is located on al-Sqeilabiya Road and is about 35km away from Hama, was subjected to violent shelling by the Assad army since the early hours of the morning. A convoy composed of 25 cars filled with army personnel and security forces …and a number of shabiha thugs from surrounding villages headed toward the town. They surrounded the village from all sides and prevented residents from leaving. The shelling lasted for about 5 continuous hours. Tens were killed as a result of the violent arbitrary shelling. Afterwards, shabiha thugs from surrounding pro-regime villages (al-Safsafah Tal Sikeen Aseela Hanjoor) stormed the village and committed another horrific massacre. Those who survived the shelling were slaughtered."Tweet received by Darker Net 18 hours before massacre: "Shabiha from the regime loyalist al-Safsafeyeh village were seen headed towards al-Traimse. A massacre is feared. #pt #Hama #Syria".Audio report from frontline:
