Syria: They Came at Dawn, and Killed in Cold Blood
(Independent-UK) Kim Sengupta - The raid by the secret police - the Mukhabarat - and the Shabbiha militia had come at dawn. The killings had been cold-blooded and quick, three men shot dead as, barely awake, they tried desperately to get away. "They were working from a list. But they made mistakes. One of them was the wrong person. They did not even have the right name of the man they killed," said Qais al-Baidi, a Syrian resident of Idlib province. "But none of them deserved this. They were not terrorists. They had just taken part in some demonstrations."
