Media Disinformation. British Citizens Fighting for Al Qaeda in Syria involved in “Executions and Acts of Torture” | Global Research:

 A report by Sky News TV (text and video) quoting social media suggests that British citizens operating within Al Qaeda affiliated rebel forces are “involved in acts of torture in Syria.”

The report should be analyzed carefully. By omission, it inserts several misleading concepts:

-

The presence of British jihadists in Al Qaeda formations is portrayed in relation to individual and isolated cases. The Brits are not being recruited in an organized fashion. Their numbers are limited.
The rebels are not sponsored by foreign governments. There is no mention of recruitment of jihadists in the UK.
The Sky News report tends to deny that the rebels are torturing Syrian civilians. The victims of British Al Qaeda operatives in Syria are not civilians, they are other rebels.
