The violence in Syria is not prepetrated by the Assad regime,

but by foreign agents who wage psychological warfare to turn world opinion against Assad.

Or at least so the Assad regime claims.

"The Houla massacres are an integral part of the so-called intelligence war -- or the psychological warfare -- against Syria," said Jamal al-Mahmoud of the state-run Department of Political Science at Damascus University, according to the state-run Tishreen newspaper. "It is a policy carried out the enemies of Syria such as the United States, Qatar, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and France to stage acts of revenge and to create chaos instead of restoring the security and the stability that the Syrian citizen needs."

If it is true what the regime claims, shouldnt they have been able to get their hands on foreign fighters, with ties to foreign agencies? Did that happen so far? Whos weapons and ammo was used in the massacre, wasnt it the regimes?

Hmmm...

Refugees are saying otherwise.

Here.

Many another news source are saying much the same. Refugees accusing Assad's military of atrocities. Nor foreign agents.

How would they know the difference between a Syrian and Qatari/Saudi/MEK wearing the same army clothes?

It's not just the foreign created opposition, creating opposition by committing crimes whilst pretending to be Asad, but the fact they are religious extremists who despise Christians and have been using 50,000 of them as involuntary human shields & hostages.

"Some Christians who tried to escape a week ago were stopped from leaving by the rebels and were instead forced to go to a mosque to act as shields," he said. "They thought that, because Christians support Assad, the government would not attack them."
Church leaders have accused Muslim neighbours of turning on the Christians, who have fled to villages and towns around the city, as well as into Lebanon.
"The people we are helping are very afraid," Bishop Antoine Audo of Aleppo said. "The Christians don't know what their future will hold. They are afraid they will not get their homes back.www.telegraph.co.uk...

No wonder why we back them! Every time we back the forces of evil, create humanitarian situations, then pretend to bring democracy with corrupt elections held by our chosen extremists. The truth is the opposition are being supported simply because Syria supports Iran. As usual (rather like our arms exports) Western actions use human rights as a propaganda excuse, whilst placing it very low (indeed) on our lists of priorities.
Many of the Syrians being quoted in the Western media, will be being quoted at the expense of not covering others stories.

I would tend to believe the refugees frankly, rather than either the govt. or rebels... The only agenda the refugees have is getting home.

All I'm seeing/reading is a bunch of heresay evidence, no foreign fighter has to my knowledge, been captured.

It couldn't possibly be, that Assad and his sycophants are a bunch of murdering thugs? How do you suppose he got into power, or rather his daddy? They got there by being... You guessed it. ...murdering thugs. ...and, were I to guess, the rebels aren't much better.

In a report issued hours after the massacre, the BBC used a photo that was first published over nine years ago and taken in Al Mussayyib, Iraq. The image shows a child skipping over the dead bodies of hundreds of Iraqi children who have been transported from a mass grave to be identified.

The caption used by the BBC to describe the image stated that the picture was provided by an activist and “believed to show the bodies of children in Houla awaiting burial”. After the “mistake” was exposed, the BBC changed their original article but did not issue a retraction.

The photographer who took the original picture, Marco Di Lauro, posted on his Facebook page, “Somebody is using my images as a propaganda against the Syrian government to prove the massacre.” Di Lauro told the London Telegraph he was “astonished” the BBC had failed to check to authenticity of the image.

“What I am really astonished by is that a news organization like the BBC doesn’t check the sources and it’s willing to publish any picture sent it by anyone: activist, citizen journalist or whatever. That’s all,” said Di Lauro.
