'In Vengeance of Yabrud' Message Found Written in Blood of Slain Syrian

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

A Syrian was found on Monday stabbed to death in North Metn district with a message next to him saying he was killed to avenge the fall of the central Syrian town of Yabrud, the state-run National News Agency reported.

NNA said Ali Moussa Harmoush's body was discovered at 9:00 am covered in blood in his room at the “Fanar Residence” compound that is under construction in the town of Fanar.

“In vengeance of Yabrud and in honor of Syria,” was written with his blood on the wall of the room, the agency said.

The message seemed to imply that Harmoush was a supporter of the Syrian regime.

Security forces threw a tight dragnet around the area to allow the medical examiner to carry out his work, NNA said.

Yabrud was taken by Syrian President Bashar Assad's troops on Sunday with the support of Hizbullah fighters.

The fall of Yabrud, a smuggling hub for the rebels trying to overthrow Assad, was a major gain for Syrian government troops. It was also the Syrian opposition's last stronghold in the vital border area. The campaign consolidated the government's hold on the capital Damascus and the central Syrian city of Homs.

Yabrud's fall came after months of fighting in the mountainous Qalamoun region between Assad's forces and Hizbullah fighters on one side and the rebels, mostly Islamist militant groups, on the other.

Monsters! Find him and televise his hanging! The only way to teach people like this a lesson.

Zalka, your is the one post that made my day. This exactly how it should be from now on. Our prison system is notorious for being excessively overcrowded, cramped and the situation for all but a few privileged inmates is beyond nightmarish. Some inmates are simply petty criminals, and yes, rest assured that there are also some innocents there too. But now to keep catching such criminals and throwing them in our jails will only exacerbate the tragic situation even further, so yes, I am for a full judicial procedure, till proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt, thereafter just hand them, in public will be even better. being a businessman, I'd suggest that an entry fee be charged, then the proceeds to go to improve our prisons.

Any terrorist should be hanged, be he or she Hezbollah, or Takfiri or whatever, a criminal is a criminal, period, and the same rope should be used, as bristle as it could be.

FT, you remind me how Hezbollah accuses anyone or anything that "bothers" them of being Israeli agents or takfiris to justify their murder and wars...

You mean like how they closed Samer Hanna's case by letting the killer run free ? This is the other way around but you see what I mean...

Until we determine who killed this guy and why he was really killed, we cannot advance such theories.

And no one is letting the killer run free because it's supposedly a political crime.

Do I need to remind you we have suffered much larger political crimes and the only ones letting these killers free are hezbollah (eliminating them or making them "dissappear" or sending them to Iran) !

You made the parallelism when you said "vented out as a political crime and the case closed and the killer running free"... this is what happened to Samer Hanna's case...

You have raised "pre-judgments" without knowing the first thing about the case above, who the killer is and reached a stupid conclusion that this case will end up closed.

And I don't have Hezbophobia... this would imply I'm afraid of Hezb which is not the case. I'm afraid of the imbeciles that blindly support the Hezb because they are too dumb to see the truth !
