The brief rebel-offensive against the Damascus suburb of Adra, and the Syrian military is once again in control. As usual, it was the civilians that bore the brunt of the clash, with reports of mass kidnappings and 80 civilians executed by the rebels before they were ousted.
The rebels, identified as al-Qaeda’s Jabhat al-Nusra faction by locals, began targeting Druze, Alawite and Christian residents early on in the siege of the city, kidnapping them en masse.
The military insisted that the rebels were using the kidnapped as human shields, but locals say that by and large they were just executed outright, and that when the kidnappings began, many members of the religious minorities hid in their basements, waiting for the rebels to leave.
Early reports had claimed Nusra fighters were working alongside the Islamic Front rebels, who are being courted by the US as the new “pro-West” faction. The locals haven’t mentioned Islamic Front in their accounts, however, claiming foreign fighters for Nusra were operating on their own.
The Syrians must not be greeting their "liberators" to their liking, hence terrorist monsters killing and kidnapping innocent people.
I hope someday Syria has some good payback for that scumbag Bandar Bin Bush, the terrorist garbage dog-sh!t maestro.
Wanting to creat a one man “democratic” government as in Saudi Arabia and UAE, therefore they need to kill all others whom are against one man rule and one man “democracy”. These “people” are barbarians pure and simple. This is 2013, if USG thinks for a moment that their strategy by helping these people is going to create a democratic state in Syria later in time, then the USG nor the Democratic Party, or for that matter the EU social democrats, nor the Neo liberals have any clue what democracy is, these barbarians are not for democracy nor they have a clue where to start, they are named barbarians because that’s what they are, barbarians. In the other hand, vulture capitalism have no limits with who or for what they are going or cooperating with, as long as the system benefits by supporting Hitlerism, or Saudis, UAE or Israelis apartheid regime.
That’s the result of a non functioning social political system called “democracy”.

As if the locals know the difference between Salafi terrorist A vs. Salafi terrorist B
I'm so glad that western supported "good" kidnapping and murdering rebels weren't involved with the kidnapping and murdering "bad" rebels who did this. I'm sure those who were kidnapped and murdered appreciate the difference.
