Syrian Opposition: Killing Lessons Online
Local Editor
Syrian Opposition rebels are largely unprofessional soldiers. That is why, the so-called "Free Syrian Army" has been providing tutorials on how to use the weapons via social media.
In one of the tutorials; a 15-minute video, a faceless individual offers a crash course in Arabic on the basics of assault rifles.
It's posted to the YouTube channel FSAHelp, for the so-called "Free Syrian Army".
Additional videos on the channel demonstrate how to shoot from a prone position, how to creep up on an enemy from a hidden position, and hand-to-hand combat. The hi-def videos are fairly high quality, with actors wearing ski masks and toting guns in wooden fields demonstrating combat maneuvers.
The YouTube channel isn't the only clearing house for Syrian guerilla training.
FSAHelp's Facebook page has much more, from photos about turning the ringtones off of cellphones to videos that demonstrate how to operate anti-tank missiles, yet facebook has claimed it has banned the page on Friday.
Sources said that the small-arms arsenal on display in the videos are impressing. Many of the weapons are Kel-Tec pistol, Sig 9mm, Glock Gen4, Workforce wrench and a S&W M&P AR-15 rifle, weapons rarely found in the same country simultaneously.
Since months, Saudi Arabia and Qatar have been paying salaries to rebel forces fighting in the Syrian revolt against President Bashar Assad, Arab diplomatic sources had revealed.
The US, for its part, declared several times it has been providing support and equipment to the rebels, who claim to defend Syria and its people.
