The only strategy at play in Syria is succeeding in tearing
the country apart. Guns speak louder than God, and the international community.

Aleppo
Rebels in Aleppo City have reportedly perpetrated a massacre against
recruits in the Hanono Military Compound. According to local
eyewitnesses, the recruits, 20 in all, were mostly Kurds, and did not take part
in any recent battle. The rebels, we are told, knew this but wanted to send a
message to all pro-Assad militias. Some say that the killers were mostly Egyptian
and Libyan Jihadis, though we don’t see any evidence of that in the videos that
came out of the attack. This marks the first documented incident of a massacre on
this scale perpetrated by rebels. All videos below were made by the rebels http://tinyurl.com/ckba5r4

Elsewhere in the city, people live in constant anxiety over the exact
spots were the bombs will fall. People used to play cat-and-mouse with snipers,
now they have to play the game with MIGs http://youtu.be/1ipW-RItIbw
Earlier, some rebels found an old copy of the Alawite Holy Book, Al-Jifr,
in the house of an Alawite officer. They read passages of it to showcase the
heterodox nature of Alawite faith from the point of view of Sunni doctrine http://youtu.be/wlmQeoe4pU0
