What happened in `Aqraba near Hama Yesterday: the unreported massacre

A comrade sent me this:  "According to the page of the (pro-opposition) `Aqrab page, it went as follows: an armed group called "the free sunni army" was attacking aqrab and about to take it and clean it from the majous and the monkeys of the mountain (the terms they use), then they take the town and many of its alawites are killed. I will let you make your judgment.
The opposition actually had two successive narratives: first that it was army aerial bombardment that killed the alawites (it was carried on al-arabiya and others), then they explained that it was mass suicide, upon the takeover of the free sunni army, alawites decided to kill their wives and children and themselves."
