Video footage has emerged which shows the moment seven of President Bashar al-Assad’s Syrian soldiers are executed on camera by rebels fighting to overthrow the regime.
The soldiers are stripped, bound and pushed to the ground where a number of rebels stand over them pointing guns at their bodies. Some bear vicious injuries on their backs and arms.
Just before they are killed, the ring-leader Abdul Samad Issa – known as ‘The Uncle’, recites a poem before he fires the first bullet.
‘For fifty years, they are companions to corruption’, he says. ‘We swear to the Lord of the Throne, that this is our oath: We will take revenge.’
The horrific scene filmed in April was documented in a video smuggled out of Syria only a few days ago by a former rebel who says he had become horrified by the brutality of the tactics his one-time comrades are using. He gave the footage to The New York Times.
It has emerged as G20 leaders meet in Russia to debate the dire situation in the war-torn country and will add fuel to the view that the rest of the world cannot actively support rebels who are carrying out atrocities equally as brutal as the troops deployed by President Assad.
Issa is known as ‘the uncle’ because two of his deputies are his nephews.
His former aide, who had the copy of the footage, said the captured soldiers’ allegedly had videos of them raping Syrian civilians and looting which led to the execution.
Issa requested the execution be filmed so he could show it to donors to help secure more funding.
At the end of the footage, the bodies of the soldiers are dumped in a well while one of the gunmen
looks into the camera and smiles.
Brutal: The bodies of the soldiers are dumped in a well after they are shot dead by the rebelsIt is believed Issa has the support of around 300 fighters willing to carry out the executions of
captured soldiers.
The 37-year-old, a trader and livestock herder before the war, formed the group at the start of the uprising using his own money to buy weapons and pay for his own soldiers’ expenses.
His father was opposed to President Hafez al-Assad, the father of Syria’s current president, but in 1982, he disappeared.
Issa believes he was killed during a 27-day government crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood which sparked his hatred of the government.

Last year, it is believed he was running a training camp in Turkey and gathering weapons, according to the New York Times.
The footage will no doubt cause problems for the U.S. which is considering attacking Syrian forces
over its alleged use of chemical weapons against civilians.
Yesterday, Secretary of State John Kerry spoke of the issue of radicalised rebels which he said made up 15 to 20 per cent of the opposition.
Most of the concerns are centred around two groups which are known to have ties with Al Qaeda –
the Nusra Front and the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
Earlier this year, another sickening video showed a rebel leader eating the heart of a captured soldier.

Using a knife, the man hacked open the torso and removed two organs before holding them up to the camera and declaring: ‘I swear to God we will eat your hearts and your livers, you soldiers of Bashar the dog.’
He then raised one to his mouth and took a bite.

Why is Obama not pushing to bomb and erradicate Al-CIAda in Syria? This is sumary execution and is a war crime under our military law and international law. Where is the push to wipe out the terroristsin Syria?
Coming to a country near you, if we don’t get rid of DHS, the UN/Russian troops on our soil and our foreign Zionist government real quick and I mean FAST!
“coming to a country near you…”
Heads up, NC…Round Rock’s Police Chief announced his retirement today and they are holding a “Nationwide search for his replacement.” Just when you thought the cops couldn’t get worse there… You should read his full “official” statement. Barf!

In the last few hours, its been edited on every other site. This is the closest I’ve found to the story I saw on statesman.com (which suddenly went to “subscription only” to read the full piece.
“He is also a graduate of the FBI Executive Development Program.”
“lieutenant over Narcotics and SWAT,”
Well gee, that says it all now. He was with the FBI and was even with SWAT. No wonder we have Gestapo police and excessive force and fake anonymous gun threats.
“A native Texan, Ryle is a third-generation police officer.”
I bet his family must be so proud to have led the most corrupt police precinct in Texas. I’m sure Officer Cox will kiss his ass on the way out.
“He was promoted police chief in October 2011.”
And only 2 years as a police chief. I guess he corrupted the police force long enough.
“It has been an honor to serve the citizens of Round Rock for so many years,” Ryle said. “The Round Rock Police Department is one of the finest law enforcement agencies in the country and it has been a privilege to be a part of this exemplary group of men and women for so many years.”
BAHAHAAHAAHAHA!!!! The “FINEST”?? OMG!!! And I thought the White House Administration was living in a delusional world. This guy takes the taco.
“We have one of the safest cities in the country, and that’s due in large part to the support the Police Department receives from our citizens, the City Council and our peers in the City organization.”
REALLY? SUPPORT? Don’t you mean forcing people into submission? Don’t you mean forced support, as in you raid buildings and taser innocent people and throw them into jail for not paying a bad check or for taking their dog to the dog park and that somehow makes you believe they support you?
If that is what being “one of the safest cities in the country” means to you, then your definitely living in CUCKOO LAND, Timmy boy.
LOL 🙂 🙂 🙂
Knew you’d get a charge out of it, NC. My thoughts exactly.
BTW, had a visit from one of our 3 letter friends (starts w/ “F”) while down there.
Well, imagine that. And I thought I was the special one they loved. I guess I’m no longer No. 1 on their Christmas list anymore.
LOL
You’re only as good as the company you keep – US gov., UK, Israel, and
the Syrian Rebels. A bunch of savages. Nobody cares what the rebels
do so long as these countries can murder, rape, plunder a sovereign
nation’s resources and dictate over their country. Nothing but a con job.
These countries have done the dam thing to the people they are suppose
to be serving and worse. Hypocrites.
