According to the issuer, the agents were ambushed by "armed groups": "A real massacre.
They mutilated the corpses and threw them into the river Orontes, they also set fire to government buildings." The TV talking about "fierce fighting between security agents and armed militia who control some parts of the city." Militias to which it addresses directly the Syrian interior minister in a statement read on television, warning that "the State will not remain with folded arms in the face of attacks."
