This is now a typical ploy of FSA gangs: they kidnap and kill and execute and torture and when they get caught, they say: some other group was responsible. "Col. Malik al-Kurdi, a deputy commander of the Free Syrian Army — one of
several competing umbrella groups involved in the fighting — said the
brigade taking responsibility for the kidnapping appeared to have been
acting on its own and did not tell the Free Syrian Army about the
operation."
