Talk:Hatlah massacre

Location?
Hatlah in Arabic: حطلة (per ABNA Arabic anyway) --Caustic Logic (talk) 10:01, 13 June 2013 (UTC) Hatla is listed on Wikimapia here.

The description states:
 * small shia - sunni mixed village
 * Location of a battle / possible massacre on 12.6.2013
 * www.reuters.com/article/2013/06/12/us-syria-crisis-kill...

Reasons
Good news: this isn't how the rebels really are - they were forced into this. Bloomberg May 21
 * Communities inhabited by Shiite Muslims and President Bashar al-Assad’s Alawite minority will be “wiped off the map” if the strategic city of Al-Qusair in central Syria falls to government troops, rebel forces said.
 * ''“We don’t want this to happen, but it will be a reality imposed on everyone,” Colonel Abdel-Hamid Zakaria, a spokesman for the Free Syrian Army in Turkey, told Al-Arabiya television yesterday. “It’s going to be an open, sectarian, bloody war to the end.”

Assad's fault. --Caustic Logic (talk) 21:44, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Videos

 * Attack on Hatla June 12th 2013

One of the videos has been deleted by YouTube: This video has been removed as a violation of YouTube's policy on shocking and disgusting content. I tried to find a copy. The best I could ind on-line is this Facebook post by the Eastern Gharriyya Coordination Committee, with the title and description in Arabic. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 02:11, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Rebels posting videos of their own crimes so disgusting Youtube pulled it? I remember the manled, naked 12-year-old girl with a dozen or more stab and slice wounds still bleeding, an arm and a leg nearly severed by possible shelling (probably not), her screaming face half-gone on a half-crushed head. Government crime it said, not sick heads-on-spikes terror video. Must document. (Homs, early February 2012, go figure) Anyway, it being pulled makes me want to see it, but I couldn't find anything either (I tried Live Leak a bit). --Caustic Logic (talk) 22:04, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
