Pages and accounts on social media circulated a statement attributed to Syrian Interior Minister Anas Khattab about the Jaramana bombing, claiming that "malicious parties affiliated with foreign states" are behind the bombing with the aim of destabilizing security and public order in Syria.
The Kashaf team reviewed the official sources and verified accounts of the Ministry of Interior, in addition to local and international media, and found no official statement by the Interior Minister with this content, nor did the ministry issue any statement relating to the Jaramana bombing or identifying who was behind it. The circulating claim also lacks any audio, visual, or textual documentation that can be verified, and its spread is limited to unreliable posts.
Why is this claim false?
Fabricated statements: The claim relied on fabricating a statement and attributing it to the Syrian Interior Minister without any documentation or official source, to lend an official character to identifying who was responsible for the Jaramana bombing, with the aim of misleading public opinion about the ministry's position.
