AL QAUEDA LINKED REBELS BEHEAD ONE OF THEIR OWN MISTAKING HIS IDENTITY THAN TRY TO APOLOGIZE

A group of Al Qaeda-linked Syrian rebels beheaded a fighter then triumphantly waved his head in the air as a trophy only to discover the poor guy was actually one of their own, London’s The Telegraph reports.
Members of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham are shown in a graphic video clutching the head of a bearded victim while claiming he was a hated member of an Iraqi Shia group fighting for President Bashar al-Assad, the paper reports.

But the killers soon learned that the victim, Mohammed Fares, was actually an allied fighter for Ahrar al-Sham, a Sunni Islamist group that fights alongside their own group of Al Qaeda-linked thugs.

The rebel group apologized for the gruesome case of mistaken identity on Thursday, asking for “understanding and forgiveness.”

Thugs in the Youtube video are shown in the city of Aleppo holding the decapitated head in front of a crowd of people, some of whom are taking photos and video.

Fares is believed to have been wounded during a battle outside of Aleppo then taken to a hospital by members of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham. He may have been captured and mistaken for a Shia fighter because of his wounds.

Assad forces have been fighting to claim the city of Aleppo for the past two weeks.
Fares is also shown in a past Youtube video speaking with Syrian rebels.
