has aired confessions by an armed terrorist group, pointing to its plans to launch attacks against government forces and institutions.

The confessions bore out assertions by Syrian authorities that armed gangs -- as well as foreign elements -- are behind recent unrests that have claimed the lives of hundreds, including security forces across the country since March.

Safi Yassin, one of the beturbanned goons that are currently in the government's custody, blamed the violence on Salafi sheiks that subscribe to an extremely intolerant interpretation of Islam.

Yassin said the preachers would call for the establishment of a Salafi state, admitting that people were supplied with weapons and ammunition to attack security and army forces.

On Wednesday, at least two military officers were killed and five soldiers injured by armed terrorist groups during Syrian military's anti-terror operations in the Bab Amr district of the western city of Homs.

#2  If you hit somebody very hard for a very long time and then stop, they will confess to anything to get you not to start again.

Or you can use actors to make your point and then announce later that they've been executed while people that resemble them enjoy a modest retirement.

Or you can surprise them by killing them, just to make sure.
