Gruesome video raises concerns about Syria rebels

 

In this frame grab from amateur video taken Thursday, Nov. 1, 2012, and provided by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights via AP video, an alleged rebel gunman steps on a captured soldier lying on the ground in Saraqeb, northern Syria. Later in the video, the rebels appear to kill the group of captured soldiers, spraying them with bullets as they lie on the ground. This image from video obtained from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has been authenticated based on the video and audio translated and content checked by regional experts against known locations and events, as well as being consistent with independent AP reporting. (AP Photo/Syrian Observatory for Human Rights via AP video)A video that appears to show a unit of Syrian rebels kicking terrified, captured soldiers and then executing them with machine guns raised concerns Friday about rebel brutality at a time when the United States is making its strongest push yet to forge an opposition movement it can work with.
