Nikolay, you said But MOI is the only source that says that the story is a lie.
I don't think that's true. Didn't the New York Times say they investigated the story but were unable to find witnesses? Ok, not quite the way I remembered it, but more or less the same. It's here
(For its part, The New York Times took note of the incident on Saturday, in a larger story about the mosque burnings, this way: “In the evening, a resident named Imad al-Hashemi said in a telephone interview on Al Jazeera, the Arab news network, that gunmen had doused some people with gasoline and set them on fire. Other residents contacted by telephone denied this.â€)
Does that have any bearing on this to you?
