SYRIA - Vicious Tactics in Civil War

"Anti-Government Syrians Defend Themselves With Suicide Bombs and Grenades" PBS Newshour 9/21/2012

Excerpt

SUMMARY: As tactics to win Syria become vicious between opposition forces and the Syrian regime's military, war crimes are commonplace. But United Nations investigators report Islamist militants may be pushing anti-government fighters to radical extremes. French photojournalist Mani and Independent Television News' Jon Snow report.

JEFFREY BROWN (Newshour): And now to a small town in Syria that has been turned upside-down by the civil war. Large numbers of civilian deaths have hardened and even radicalized much of the population.

French photojournalist Mani shot this story last week when he was embedded with an elite brigade of the Free Syrian Army in the western part of the country.

It's narrated by Jon Snow of Independent Television News.
