The al-Qaeda-linked Jabhat al-Nusra rebels have released another video, the second in as many days, showing their fighters summarily executing captured Syrian soldiers.
Today’s video showed 11 soldiers, bound and blindfolded before being shot to death. The executioner in the video said the killings were ordered by “the sharia court for Deir Azzor,” though it is unclear if such a court even exists outside of the militia’s own leadership.
A video released the previous day showed the execution of three soldiers in Raqqa, with a statement read saying it was “retaliation” for claimed government massacres in Baniyas and Homs.
Nusra regularly releases videos of executions, one of several policy moves that is fueling international concern over the group’s consider influence on the rest of the Syrian rebellion.
No doubt that handing over control of all of Syria to these gentlemen is a brilliant idea. Clearly in line with American values, as they are obviously not killing their "own people" and wouldn't continue to do such a thing once on power. Ever.
I support the rebels but killing if prisoner I thorough condemn. This is not the Muslim way, just because we hate a regime that has in the past been brutal to us doesn't mean that we must become like them.
I doubt very much that al Nusra has any concern with the interests of common Syrians. It merely wants to trade a secular dictatorship for a religious one.
Are you deluded Pervez or just senile? Thousands of years of violent Muslim history dispute your rose colored glasses view of ISLAM. If you don't believe that such brutal murders are "the Muslim way" then you're hopelessly brainwashed. "The Muslim way"….ha….whatever the hell you think that is! The ignorant, barbarians who conducted this atrocity grunting God is Great as they blow helpless prisoners brains out are shining examples of those infected with the always terminal disease known as militant ISLAM whose disgusting followers worship their own geopolitical power INSTEAD of worshipping the creator of the incredible Cosmos.
There is no sanity here, only psychos that use religion as a reason to murder. They say they have a moral authority to kill the soldiers because they committed crimes by killing their Muslim brothers in Homs. Well, here are Muslims killing Muslims, an obvious flaw in their moral tirade. And then then the jackals of the West want to sweep in and take over the Syrian government because of another form of moral "authority". I guess that morality these days comes from the end of a gun.

So we have numerous videos of rebels murdering their prisoners, versus your two links, which contain only the verbal claims of the rebels themselves. And there's no way they would lie to advance their cause, is there?
