A Campaign of Decapitation in Syria
(Daily Beast) Mike Giglio - Last month in Damascus, a man whose nom de guerre is Shirzad Barazi killed Mohamed Abid Osman, whose job as an intelligence officer was to help the Syrian regime kill civilians. Barazi leads a small band of rebels operating in central Damascus and specializing in targeted killings. In recent weeks, rebels say, they have intensified plans for a push in central Damascus, where the officers and senior officials are based who form the core of the regime.
