SYRIA- the photos of Rebels, identified as members of the Muslim Brotherhood, took up arms against the Syria regime in the northwest of Syria, show rare example of an insurgency army in this country. Photos have been taken since Sunday and were obtained by AFP Thursday.
These photographs, taken with an iPhone on the heights of Jisr al-Choughour where the army was conducting a major offensive then, show the rebels trying to stand guard at a checkpoint. The author of photos, these are members of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Hidden behind sand bags and sit around a table placed near a road, the men show off shotguns.
Pro-democracy demonstrations began three months ago in Syria, but very little evidence has so far reported an armed insurrection, except the statements of the official television and the authorities, who claim to deal with attacks of "armed groups".
Jisr al-Choughour, Syrian town of 50,000 inhabitants, was deserted by its` inhabitants, many parties in Turkey since the violence have exploded ten days ago.
Syrian army had sent its tanks and helicopters to quell the protest, Army claimed to have regained control on Sunday and stalk "armed men" in the surrounding mountains.
Many refugees arrived in Turkey have accused the soldiers have opened fire on unarmed demonstrators.
The military announced it had discovered since at Jisr al-Choughour two "mass graves" where they believe the bodies of Loyalist soldiers tortured by "armed groups" have been filed as witnesses and the deserters had described, but rather the remains of mutineers.
The Muslim Brotherhood is banned in Syria since the bloody clashes that had opposed the power in the early 1980s. A law provides the death penalty against anyone who belongs.
