CIA-Armed Syrian Rebel Group Just Beheaded a 10-Year-Old Boy on Video

(ANTIMEDIA) Handarat, Syria — One of several U.S.-backed Syrian rebel groups has been caught on video taunting—and then beheading—a boy as young as 10 years old.

They claim the youth was a captured Palestinian fighting on behalf of pro-government forces—but his extremely young age, and the fact the group has received training and aid in financing and weapons from the United States government, could incite profoundly negative consequences in a situation already fraught with controversy.

As the BBC describes the footage, emphasis added, which was reportedly filmed north of Aleppo in Handarat:

“One video shows five men posing with the frightened child, who could be as young as 10, in the back of a truck. One of the men grips him by the hair.

“The same man is later filmed apparently cutting the boy’s head off.”

2. CIA backing shady groups, that is old hat and sadly nobody seems to care.

The PTB look the other way when it involves the CIA. Makes me wonder what the CIA found on Congress to make the entire body stay silent and not take action against the agency.

5. Interesting spin

Funny how this BBC article never mentions the CIA:

6. the blame is not given to the murderers doing the act but to some shadowy theory.

it seems to be an attempt to make the murder a nonevent and shift the focus to the cia - whether they were involved or not.

7. How many children were killed in Thursdays bombing?

Over 200 people were killed in a so called 'mistake'.

Dead is dead - stop the fugging wars.

8. More blood to be laid at the doorstep of Bush & Co.

They should be tried and convicted for every death that happens over there.
