A Reuters investigation pieced together how three days of massacres against Syrian Alawites unfolded, identifying a chain of command leading from the attackers directly to men who serve alongside Syria’s new leaders in Damascus. Reuters found nearly 1,500 Syrian Alawites were killed and dozens were missing. The investigation revealed 40 distinct sites of revenge killings, rampages and looting against the religious minority, long associated with the fallen Assad regime. #syria #alawites #investigation #crime #religion #assad
