Terrorists in Syria exploded a bomb and killed all the civilian passengers, including women and children, of a bus in the Central province of Hama on Sunday.
The terrorist operation was carried out by the Al-Motasem group, affiliated to the al-Qaeda, in Cairo village in Hama province.
The terrorists have carried out similar attacks on defenseless Syrian civilians in numerous cases in the last two years since armed clashes started in Syria.
In a similar terrorist operation last week, the so-called Free Syrian Army (FSA) terrorists killed all the civilian passengers of a bus in a mortar attack in Southern Damascus.
The terrorists targeted the bus packed with civilians, including women and children, in al-Salasin street of al-Yarmouk Palestinian refugee camp in Southern Damascus, killing all passengers onboard.

Hostilities along the Gaza-Israel border escalated sharply over the weekend after Israeli strikes killing six Palestinians in Gaza and the Quds Brigades of the Islamic Jihad Movement responded with rocket salvos.
Netanyahu told his cabinet on Sunday that "the world must understand that Israel will not sit idly by while attempts are made to attack us. We are prepared to escalate our response".
The Quds Brigades of the Islamic Jihad Movement in a statement announced on Sunday that it has fired over 70 rockets and missiles at Zionist targets in response to Israel's numerous air raids and ground assaults on defenseless Palestinians.

This file photo shows fire and smoke rising after shells exploded in the Syrian village of Bariqa, close to the ceasefire line between Israel and Syria, near Alonei Habashan on the Israeli occupied Golan Heights, Nov. 7, 2012.
The military said it fired the missile as a warning shot on Sunday after a stray mortar from Syria hit a military post in the Golan Heights. Israel captured the Golan from Syria in the 1967 Mideast war and subsequently annexed it.
The military says no damage or injuries were reported inside Israel.
A string of mortar shells have struck the Golan during the Syrian civil war. Israel views the fire as accidental, but nonetheless has warned that it holds Syria responsible.
It came as Syrian opposition groups, meeting in the Qatari capital Doha, signed an initial agreement to form a new coalition of forces fighting to end the rule of President Bashar Assad.
Comment: The news would lead us to believe Assad is responsible for all the ills within Syria ... but what if ...?

It would also be nice to know from where, within Syria, the mortars were fired, what their range is and if they could have reached Golan, as Israel always plays the roll of victim.
California - Officials said 38 anti-crime cameras will soon be installed in downtown Los Angeles.
In the coming weeks, this new equipment will replace cameras which have been broken or failing for years.
Andrea Fujii, reporting for CBS2 and KCAL9, says the cameras should make streets safer.
She spoke with Jennifer Otto, co-owner of Wax Candy, a downtown business. With dozens of female clients, her store put a premium on safety for staffers and patrons coming in and out of her Fashion District business.
Skid Row is a few blocks away. Otto says sometimes vagrants have come inside her establishment. With Wax Candy closing at 8 o'clock every night - and it being darker - the women who work here say they look forward to a little extra security.
She believes her customers and workers will feel safer with the cameras. "They know there's someone watching out for them."
Captain Horace Frank of the Los Angeles Police Department said, "The camera initiative is to help us in the ability to prevent crime, reduce crime in central, and if we don't get there then we can better identify and apprehend the suspects."
That's the story, but what's really going on?
A prime rule of US political culture is that nothing rivets, animates or delights the political media like a sex scandal. From Bill Clinton, Gary Hart, and Eliot Spitzer to John Edwards, Larry Craig and David Vitter, their titillation and joy is palpable as they revel in every last arousing detail. This giddy package is delivered draped in a sanctimonious wrapping: their excitement at reporting on these scandals is matched only by their self-righteous condemnations of the moral failings of the responsible person.
All of these behaviors have long been constant, inevitable features of every political sex scandal - until yesterday. Now, none of these sentiments is permitted because the newest salacious scandal features at its center Gen. David Petraeus, who resigned yesterday as CIA Director, citing an extramarital affair.
A political analyst tells Press TV that almost every single family in Gaza has lost somebody throughout the years of Israeli attacks, oppression and occupation and yet nothing is done and there is no justice.
The comments come after a 13-year-old boy was killed by Israeli gunfire in the southern Gaza Strip.
Press TV has conducted an interview with Adie Mormech, human rights activist, to further discuss the issue. What follows is an approximate transcription of the interview.
Comment: To understand the reality that the people of Gaza have had to face under Israeli aggression and oppression, we urge you to watch and share the powerful and devastating documentary Tears of Gaza.
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani joined a chorus of Republicans questioning the timing of Thursday's sudden resignation of CIA chief David Petraeus.
The former GOP presidential contender, in an appearance Friday night on Fox News, said the Petraeus resignation is the latest example of the Obama administration's "suppression" of information.
"Now we're going to have a hearing next week, and the man who knows the facts, David Petraeus - he's the only man who can really tell us what the CIA knew, what they did, why they did it, how they did it - he's not going to testify. This is a very convenient way to get the administration out of a very very difficult situation," Mr. Giuliani said on Greta van Susteren's show.
"But this is inevitable. This is like Watergate. This is all going to come out. It may take a month, it may take five months. But this is all going to come out. And every single new coverup they do just makes it much much worse."

BBC director general George Entwistle resigned after failing to get to grips with a child sex abuse scandal
BBC director general George Entwistle resigned after failing to get to grips with a child sex abuse scandal
Entwistle has faced widespread criticism since a rival broadcaster carried charges last month that a former BBC star, the late Jimmy Savile, was one of Britain's most prolific sex offenders.
"I have decided that the honourable thing to do is to step down," Entwistle said in a televised statement on Saturday outside the BBC's London headquarters.
Earlier in the day, Britain's public broadcaster suspended all investigations by its current affairs programme newsnight following the report that Entwistle had condemned as "fundamentally wrong".
Newsnight was already under scrutiny for dropping an investigation last year into abuse claims against the late Savile, one of the BBC's biggest stars who has now been accused of sexually abusing hundreds of children over four decades.
In the speech above, Obama tries to express true and honest emotion as if he is an ordinary human being with normal feelings. It's a sweet and intimate moment. . . . . . NOT. It's like watching Stalin or some other historical cult leader cry in front of his die-hard followers to gain their love.
The religious worship of arrogant, dishonest, and cult-like leaders is disgusting and sick anywhere in the world. Jim Jones also probably used tears to steal the hearts of his enchanted followers. Every cult leader does it. It is a well-known trick. Tears from the dear leader is like rain from the sky-god. It nourishes and replenishes the love of the blind community of souls for the leader.
"How long have the polls been closed?"
"Let's see. Two hours."
"The hell with it. Let's call it a defeat for Prop 37."
"Okay."
This isn't over.
We're not just looking at how many votes in California are still uncounted. We're not just guessing how it'll turn out and making little projections. That's a sucker's game.
We're looking at real symptoms of fraud. And fraud has tentacles and arms. You see one piece of fraud, you keep digging for other pieces. You usually find them.
Start with the incredibly early projections made by media outlets on election night. Those projections sank Prop 37.
When you're in the middle of a football game and the outcome is still in doubt, if somebody suddenly posts the final score on the scoreboard, that's called a lie.
Comment: One can easily imagine Netanyahu salivating at a new plan to re-increase any conflict, against a neighbor who essentially has bottle rockets to defend itself.
