A Russian military unit has arrived in Syria, according to Russian news reports, a development that a United Nations Security Council source told ABC News was "a bomb" certain to have serious repercussions.

here is where abc's report gets a little screwy:
ria novosti, a news outlet with strong ties to the kremlin, trumpeted the news in a banner headline that appeared only on its arabic language website. The russian embassy to the u.s. And to the u.n. Had no comment, saying they have "no particular information on" the arrival of a russian anti-terrorism squad to syria.
actually no, here is what ria did say about the development, google translated (http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=ru&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=utf-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3a%2f%2fria.ru%2fworld%2f20120319%2f6003187 51.html): (original can be found here (http://ria.ru/world/20120319/600318751.html))
defense ministry denied the information circulated a number of media that the coast of syria are ostensibly russian warships.

"no russian warships, performing tasks from the shores of syria, no. In the syrian port of tartus 10 days of the ship auxiliary fleet tanker" iman "which performs the tasks logistics - the replenishment of fuel and food - of the black sea and northern fleets, which provides security shipping in the gulf of aden anti-piracy ", - told ria novosti representative of management information and the defense ministry.

previously, some russian and foreign media reported that the black sea fleet tanker "iman" on board which is a group of marines, ostensibly to perform combat missions off the coast of syria.
itar-tass denied as well (http://www.itar-tass.com/c1/369824.html?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=itar-tass).
Which is rather odd - one would imagine that when reporting on such potential warmongering scenarios fact-checking would be rather important. It appears not.
Either way, abc continues (http://abcnews.go.com/blotter/russian-anti-terror-troops-arrive-syria/story?id=15954363#.t2ejg9wgu8e):
last week russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov said russia had no plans to send troops to syria.

"as for the question whether i consider it necessary to confront the united states in syria and ensure our military presence there… in order to take part in military actions -- no. I believe this would be against russia's national interests," lavrov told lawmakers, according to ria novosti.
