Syrian rebel 'beheaded in case of mistaken identity'

Syrian rebel 'beheaded in case of mistaken identity'

An al-Qaeda affiliated rebel group in Syria is reported to have asked for forgiveness after beheading a fellow rebel in a case of mistaken identity.

A video recently posted online showed members of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) brandishing the severed, bearded head of a man.

They said was an Iraqi Shia caught fighting on the government side.

But other rebel fighters watching the video recognised the man and said he was one of their commanders.

That's why I don't care who wins.
In fact, the more I hear about the other side, the more I'm beginning to like Assad.

He seems like a model of restraint, compared to the others.

No, he just has better PR. And wears a suit.

And doesn't run around with freshly cut-off heads in his hands.

I like that in a leader.

Nawp. He slices open the eyeballs of his enemies with a dull razor blade and laps up the sweet goo that flows forth from their eyesockets while 70 virgins chant Ave Aisha about him in three concentric circles.

It was a mistake anybody could have made. It's quite understandable to get very cranky if you think someone has a slightly different version of an imaginary friend...

Indeed. Let's not forget that for many of those fighting in Syria, it's a Sunni v. Shia contest. A religious sectarian war - one of the very worst kinds.

Please, please! This is supposed to be a happy occasion. Let's not bicker and argue about who killed who.
