Assad Gives Direct Order To Kill: The
Iranian Secret Services Are Active
28 June 2012
By Markaz Kavkaz
The Alawite army and police were given direct orders
from the highest levels to attack villages, kill
Muslims or force them to flee, Sky News has been told.
Sky's chief correspondent has been inside Syria to
speak to some of the large number of Alawite military
and police prisoners being held by the Free Syrian
Army opposition force in the north of the country.
According to them, the commanders lied them sending to
kill "foreign militants". In fact, the army simply was
carrying out random shelling.
"Old people are dying, young people are dying", said
one of the prisoners. "It's not a war - it's just
random shelling and many people are suffering".
"We had the idea that (opposition forces) were there
to terrorize people, to kill children, to kill females
and to kill everybody around, but... we noticed that
the opposite was what was actually happening", said
another prisoner.
Another prisoner described the Free Syrian Army as
people with "honor and dignity" who are "fighting for
a proper reason".
The prisoners, who appear to be well treated, said the
foreign correspondent. But now they face the same
dangers as the ordinary Syrians are, because the
positions of the Assad regime's army continuing to
battle with the "foreign terrorists" are located
around, and an occasional bomb or missile may well hit
them as well.
Meanwhile, the US intelligence believes that the
Syrian opposition is fragmented. And the Assad regime,
realizing a threat to its existence, is trying to
strengthen their unity. In addition, the Alawites,
ruling for decades in Syria, are aware that in the
case of fall of the regime they will face revenge for
the many bloody crimes, and they are unlikely to
survive in Syria.
The head of US National Intelligence James Clapper
believes that the Syrian National Council and the Army
of Free Syria, which are one of the most prominent
opposition groups, do not have a single organization.
There is even an internal struggle over who will lead
this organization, said Clapper.
The Iranian secret services are active against the
background of an unstable situation.
"The Iranians are concerned about the Assad's state
and think about how to help him. They are sending
instructors and ammunition - mostly to quell the
unrest. Another disturbing phenomenon that we've seen
recently, apparently, is the presence of extremists
who have infiltrated the opposition groups. The two
bombings in Damascus in December ... and then the two
additional bombings in Aleppo, both of which were
targeted against security and intelligence buildings
... had all the earmarks of an al Qaeda-like attack.
So we believe that al Qaeda in Iraq is extending its
reach into Syria", said the head of the US National
Intelligence.
Nevertheless, fierce battles are taking place between
the Assad regime troops and rebel forces in the
suburbs of Damascus since Tuesday, said the activists
about the bloodiest clashes in the capital since the
beginning of the uprising 16 months ago.
Fire and explosions could be heard on a video released
by activists. According to human rights organization
Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, clashes occurred
near the headquarters of the Republican guard in Quds
and suburbs of Al-Hama and Mashr Dumar, located just
nine kilometers from Damascus.
According to an activist in Damascus, Samir al-Shami,
tanks and armored vehicles are on the streets of
suburbs. According to some activists, a tank was blown
up.
Rebellion against the rule of President Bashar al-Assad
is becoming more violent. Damascus is considered a
stronghold of support for Assad, but reports of
clashes near the capital are reported more often.
