One of Syria's more
moderate terrorist groups has called for ethnic cleansing against minority civilian populations after losing ground in the conflict.
The leader of al-Qaeda offshoot al-Nusra Front, a terrorist group fighting in Syria, has called for increased attacks against civilians belonging to Syria's Alawite minority.
The Syrian Alawite minority is often targeted by anti-government fighters and Western media, being labeled as a "ruling" minority in the country because President Bashar Assad is an Alawi. The al-Nusra Front and allied groups have previously massacred hundreds of Alawi civilians during offensives against the Latakia province in 2013 and 2014.
"There is no choice but to escalate the battle and to target Alawite towns and villages in Latakia and I call on all factions to...daily hit their villages with hundreds of missiles as they do to Sunni cities and villages," the group's leader Abu Mohamad al-Golani said, according to Reuters.Golani also spoke out against Russia's operation against terrorist groups in Syria. The Syrian military has recently scored victories against groups including al-Nusra in the Hama province following a Russian airstrike campaign against terrorist targets.
In 2014, al-Nusra and moderate factions of the Free Syrian Army ethnically cleansed the Armenian population of the town of Kessab in Syria's Latakia province. The moderate fighters also
looted and burned Armenian homes, stores and churches while raping elderly women who were unable to flee the town, according to reports at the time.
The United States has also bombed al-Nusra positions in recent months after
inventing a separate name for it, the "Khorasan Group," apparently to avoid associating it with the al-Nusra, which is allied to portions of the Free Syrian Army.Al-Nusra's head al-Golani has denied the "Khorasan Group's" existence.
Comment: "They're beating us militarily so let's go kill a bunch of innocent people!" : A prime example of the pathological warfare - through its proxies - that the U.S. has and will continue to unleash on the world in order to meet its objectives. And is also further evidence of why Putin's Russia is perfectly justified in taking the actions it is to eradicate this scourge on humanity.

Apparently the article above reads as follows:
"In 2014, al-Nusra and moderate factions of the Free Syrian Army ethnically cleansed the Armenian population of the town of Kessab in Syria's Latakia province."
I think that means means two gangs of murdering assholes murdered the Armenian population of Kessab then, further along, I'm informed that they raped the old women who couldn't run away.
WTF is up with the "moderate" and "cleansed" DoubleSpeak, this is -supposed- to be a news article from one(s) halfway respected.
Oh well, it must be me; I must be misreading somehow . . .
