Activists: Rebellion within Syrian security forces behind the killings

Share:

Syrian State television cited reported that 120 security forces were killed, including 82 in Jisr Al-Shugur. In addition, it said, dozens of civilians were wounded.

The station said the security forces were killed in several attacks including an ambush by “armed gangs” in the city, when government buildings were set afire, and in clashes at a security center.

“The armed attacks targeted public and private buildings in various regions and lately there were similar attacks in Jisr Al-Shugur,” Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim al-Chaar said in a short statement on state television.

But activists said the clashes took place when security forces defected, refusing to follow orders to storm Jisr Al-Shugur.

Al Arabiya TV reported that an activist told AFP in Nicosia on the phone that an explosion was heard at the headquarters of Syrian security forces in Jisr Al-Shugur followed by gunfire and it appeared that it was the result of a rebellion within the forces.

The activist said that several members of the security forces who refused to shoot at the protesters were shot and killed by those members loyal to the regime .

The Syrian government has restricted access to the country by members of the international news media and reliable information has been hard to get

    Such big attack can’t be done by regular little militia, but by branch of arm forces against another.
    Syrian authorities are not telling the truth as usual. How many Syrians should die before Bashar
    Al-Asad’s conscious wakes up?

        Hi, I’m from the UK and I agree with you that the west’s response to events in Syria has been pathetic. We can’t even get a UN resolution passed to give Assad a “ticking off” because Russia vetoed it. 

        I think our governments are also scared of upsetting Iran and Hizbollah.

          Exactly.. every western country involved in the so called ‘Arab spring’, has an ulterior motive in mind. It also seems like, they each have different agenda, and a different idea about, what needs to be done, where, when, how etc… unfortunately ,  the young  and helpless people , who are really starving for Freedom and Liberation, who are sacrificing so many lives for their dreams, are now facing, the same cool, ‘Sorry but, you’re on your own’, kind of reaction from the west, much like the Iranian ‘Greens’ got from them , when they attempted their recent uprising..   They Threw their Allies under the bus –  ie, Mubarak, Ali and now Saleh .. , Kadafi – He has the oil Europe needs… And their Enemies –  you are right, they are clearly ‘scared of upsetting’ their Enemies , ie, Iran and her proxies: Syria, Hizbollah, and Hamas.. It doesn’t look good.

        Considering the banking debacle, they don’t have any more money left to be trying to help people to be ‘free’ … many of us think they should have not spent anything on the concept in the first place – like Iraq – and in wonder also consider how few of ‘the people’ really seem to want it. Would have been cheaper to build a long wall … and let the sand absorb the blood of the repressed, as it has for centuries.

    Assad’s government should be met with the same fury metted out to colonialists in the 30’s and 40’s. Enough with this peaceful revolution crap. I urge every disgruntled Syrian not happy with the current status quo to take to the vast mountains and the forests of Syria and start organizing themselves into fighting groups and launch a ferocious guerrilla war against this son of a dog Assad and his supporters. I urge every Lebanese, Turkish, Jordanian and Iraqi citizen concerned for the welfare of the Syrian people to fund these guerrilla groups.
     
    This bastard is sticking and he appears to be sticking for the long haul so unless something drastic is done soon to dislodge him he is going to remain in power. A lot of martyr’s blood has been spilled to go to waste. People of Syria keep up the momentum this dog will vanish into the dark pages of history very soon. Take your affairs into your own hands because it seems western nations will only help you if you have vast reserves of oil to trade.
     
    Time for this once great Arab nation to rise again from beneath the destruction wrought by these baathist pigs. It should be the goal to hunt down each one of these traitors and bring them to justice. Enough oppression. The people have had enough.
