FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
After tormenting their captives, the soldiers and militiamen began executing
them. “They used bayonets on the ends of their guns to stab the men in
the back. One grabbed a prisoner by the hair and slit his throat,” said
Abu Abdo. Four men were killed in this way.
But the frenzied brutality became too much for one of the militiamen. “He
grabbed the shoulder of the others, and told them to stop,” said Abu
Abdo. The man is believed to have said: “If we are going to kill them,
then let’s shoot them.” The men retreated and Abu Abdo’s cousin was
able to escape.
A Syrian woman told the BBC that security forces slit the throat of her
12-year-old son last Friday after the rebels had retreated from Baba Amr.
She claimed 35 other men and boys had been detained and killed in the same
attack.
These accounts cannot be independently verified. Since its capture last week
after 26 days of continuous bombardment, Baba Amr has been sealed off.
In this blackout, rumours have swirled of “massacres” committed by
the Syrian regime. The numbers have fluctuated wildly, with claims that
dozens of civilians had been found hacked to death.
But videos posted online and the accounts of civilians who have fled into
neighbouring Lebanon leave little doubt of the violence they have left
behind. One video, posted the day after Baba Amr was captured, shows a pile
of male corpses in a truck. Their bodies are wrapped in blankets and
carpeted by falling snow, their faces bearing what appear to be stab wounds.
The top of one man’s skull has been removed, a wound that seems too clean
cut to have been inflicted by shrapnel.
Many of the accounts focus on a government co-operative building in Baba Amr
where hundreds of detainees are allegedly being held. Last week, reports
suggested that ten prisoners were executed at this location.
While keeping aid workers out of the most sensitive areas, the Syrian regime
bowed to pressure yesterday and said that Baroness Amos, the United Nations
under-secretary for humanitarian affairs, would be allowed to visit Damascus
on Wednesday. She is expected to press for aid agencies to be free to
deliver help wherever it is needed.
Kofi Annan, the former UN secretary general who has been appointed an envoy to
Syria, will also be permitted to visit Damascus on Saturday.
