Video: Syrian rebels execute Assad loyalists in a "torrent of gunfire"

A preview of things to come.
(AFP) Members of the rebel Free Syrian Army executed regime loyalists in the embattled northern city of Aleppo on Tuesday, according to amateur video posted on YouTube by activists.

The video showed members of the Al-Berri tribe being led into a square filled with armed men, chanting: "The FSA forever!"

The face of one of the captives was covered in blood, and he had been stripped almost naked, as rebels gathered around him and stood him against a wall.

Other captives were lined up next to him, as rebels chanted: "God is greatest."

They opened a torrent of fire on their captives, identified as members of a tribe that entered the fighting on Tuesday in Aleppo on the side of the regime.
