DUBAI (Reuters) - An al Qaeda-affiliated rebel commander in Syria has pledged to target communities of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's Alawite minority with rockets in revenge for an alleged chemical attack near Damascus, according to an audio recording seen on Sunday.
"For every chemical rocket that has fallen on our people in Damascus, one of their villages will, by the will of God, pay for it," Abu Mohammad al-Golani of the al-Nusra Front said in the recording posted on YouTube. "On top of that we will prepare a thousand rockets that will be fired on their towns in revenge for the Damascus Ghouta massacre."
Why if it was the children of some rebels that perished?

So I'm confused & I hope someone can help me. These terrorist are threatening to kill civilians because Assad supposedly killed civilians? Does that make sense to anyone? I get that Al Qaeda has no qualms about killing innocent people but come on. As far as I'm concerned this YouTube statement only solidifies my belief it was Al Nursa who fired off those chemical rockets.

Don't be fooled that the assad regime did do it. The media isn't trying to tell people anything else even though there isn't strong evidence. It doesn't make sense, its been denied, and it would make sense for the rebels to do . You are being sold the same war as in 02, but this time its being sold as a humanitarian act.

shows your intelligence revenge against the people who did it is not code for bomb civilians. Obviously there in a losing battle so they cant easly blow up Assad so there going to kill CIVILIANS makes sense to me.

Don't be fooled? Why are you so sure Asaad's forces randomly attacked civilians? That makes no sense. What does make sense is the terrorists killing civilians & blaming it on Assad so the west & NATO can run bombing campaigns for them, like they did in Libya, so Assad can finally fall & Syria will become a terrorist hell hole, just like in Libya.
