Dutch photographer Steven Wassenaar injured in Syria

The attack in the Syrian city of Homs, where a French cameraman Wednesday was killed, probably deliberately done by the Syrian government on journalists. That says Dutch photographer Steven Wassenaar, who was injured in the aanlsag.

"I have no proof, but there are many indications that it was a hoax from the Syrian regime," Wassenaar said to NOS correspondent Ron left.

A Belgian radio journalist who was there, thinks so. "We can not prove in black and white, but when the pieces of the puzzle together places, it remains a strange story," said Jens Franssen journalist in a radio broadcast of the Belgian broadcaster VRT.

On the day of the attack was not suddenly the guide with the group, says Franssen. "Exactly when we were there, five grenades were fired. After it was again quiet in the neighborhood."
