(Zaman Al Wasl)- An eye-witness described the last moment of Omar Bakour’s life, our late Zaman al-wasl correspondent in Idlib, who passed away in regime air strikes on the village of al-Dana in Idlib countryside last Sunday.
Abo al-Ola Amin, rebel fighter, told Zaman al-Wasl that he had seen Bakour by chance at the site of air strike while he was dying, and no one dared to get close to him fearing of another strike on the same site.
Bakour lost his life with 8 more people when the regime warplanes rocked the the town with 4 vacuum missiles. The attack has also left 20 more wounded.
The fighter explained that he hardly managed to carry Bakour for 50 metres away from the targeted area in order to find someone to help him.
Amin explained that Bakour was smiling after his injury that was in his chest, he thought that his body had many fragments in his body, but the medical staff in l-Dana hospital did not x-rayed him because he arrived dead.
The fighter added that he had taken Bakour’s ID card and an amount of money he had, besides his watch and published his photo on the Facebook without knowing he was a journalist.
Abo al-Ola explained that he had handed Bakour’s possessions to the site he was in, to guarantee handing them to his family. The possessions were: an entry card via Bab al-Hawa border crossing, a card to carry a personal weapon for a person called Sadiq Khalid, the driver of Director of Directorate of Health in Idlib, an amount of money 1485 Syrian pound added to Euro100, a watch, a backet of cigarette and a lighter. “But his mobile was not among the stuff, I think it was in the printing house where Bakour was injured.
