"Justice was swift and brutal when fighters of the Al Nusra Front militia caught
a man accused of raping and killing a young girl in front of her father. They
beheaded the man and left his body in the street. The presence of women
and children didn't deter them. Neither did the appeals of other rebels at the
checkpoint in the embattled neighborhood of Salahuddin. Members of the Free
Syrian Army, the main rebel force, said that the man was a member of a
pro-government militia and that they had no doubt he was guilty. They also had
no objection to killing him, but they did object to a public beheading."
