READ MORE: Shia kafir Assad gives direct order to kill
The Alawite army and police were given direct orders from the highest levels to attack villages, kill Muslims or force them to flee, Sky News has been told.
Sky's chief correspondent has been inside Syria to speak to some of the large number of Alawite military and police prisoners being held by the Free Syrian Army opposition force in the north of the country.
According to them, the commanders lied them sending to kill "foreign militants". In fact, the army simply was carrying out random shelling.
"Old people are dying, young people are dying", said one of the prisoners. "It's not a war - it's just random shelling and many people are suffering".
"We had the idea that (opposition forces) were there to terrorize people, to kill children, to kill females and to kill everybody around, but... we noticed that the opposite was what was actually happening", said another prisoner.
