Photos have surfaced from the Rastan and Al-Houla Plains of northern Homs that contain graphic footage of moderate rebels from the Free Syrian Army (FSA) hoisting the severed heads of several deceased soldiers from the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and civilian-led “National Defense Forces” (NDF).

The pictures show the U.S. backed moderate rebel fighters of the Free Syrian Army posing with severed heads that they mutilated after a firefight in the Homs Governorate’s northern countryside; this area is the target of the Syrian Arab Army’s latest large-scale offensive inside the country.

Two weeks ago, the Russian Federation was accused of specifically targeting the moderate rebel fighters supported by the United States Government and their allies from the United Kingdom, France, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Qatar; however, the Russian Government asserted that these targeted militants were not “moderates” at all, but rather, Islamists affiliated with the notorious terrorist organization “Al-Qaeda.”

The Russian Federation has maintained that they are specifically targeting terrorist groups inside Syria and that they have no intentions of attacking groups that are combatting the likes of Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS).

It appears that these moderate rebels inside the Homs Governorate are not “moderate” at all; especially, with their heinous crimes they videotape and post with sectarian commentary that is directed at the Syrian Alawi (minority sect of Islam) and Shia Muslims.
