Syrian govt source: No proof photos were taken in Syria

A Syrian government source has said that a cache of 55,000 images, apparently documenting torture and executions by the Assad regime, is an attempt by Qatar to attack the Syrian government:

There is no proof about these photos. There is no proof these photos were even taken in Syria ... The report is from the government of Qatar who are not neutral ...
