Zaman Alwasl- Translation by Yusra Ahmed
From the leaked documents Zaman Alwasl obtained, in which "Shabiha" reported crimes to other "Shabiha", maybe to get benefits or to elevate their positions. Reports described the community from insiders’ eyes and their witnesses, which give the reports higher credibility.
Close observers onto “Shabiha’s community” in Salamiyah City, their base and the house of Mosib Salameh, consider him the difficult link in that community, as he is involved in many crimes of killing, abduction and robbery.
The shocking and attention-drawing fact from looking onto that community that no one was protected from Shabiha’s crimes, even pro-regime people and informers working for it. Crimes even reach to Alawite people.
A report against “Mosib” showed that Ali Hamdan, one of Mosib’s helpers, killed 3 people including a woman, from Alawite majority village “Abo Hakfa” in Homs countryside according to Mosib’s orders, and the three bodies were burned.
However, the story of “Y.K” is literally shocking, it started when an Alawite man “Y.K” was abducted by an “armed group” and they requested a ransom of S.P9 million to release him. The deal was done via a sheikh from nearby village to communicate with the abductors and exchange money with “Y.K” . After the deal was done with the armed group, Mosib’s men abducted the Shiekh and “Y.K” to blackmail Y.K’s parents and requested S.P5 million to release him. When parents provided the money, the two hostages disappeared then it was found they were killed.
Another report a “Shabih” wrote from Khnaifis, the small town nearby Salamiyah, Mosib Salamah’s shabiha took as a centre for them, told the story of abducting 5 workers from Idlib at Khnaifis crossing, where they were threaten with arms, then taken to the prison in the town, where they met other 3 hostages, two of them from Deir Ezzor, and the third was a teacher and a member in the national reconciliation committee from Tal Omari village. . Afifa, one of Mosib’s men demanded a ransom of S.P4 million to release the teacher, S.P1.7 million were paid and the rest was negotiated about, before the hostages managed to escape from prison to shelter in nearby village. Mosib requested to use the mortar shell to bomb the area, aiming to kill the escaping hostages, claiming that armed groups were hiding in pushes
Another crime Ali Hamdan and Mosib committed, when they killed two hostages were arrested when their BMW car stopped by Ali Hamdan men, to discover that big amount of money and US dollar notes was with them. Ali Hamdan sent the two men to Mosib, and started using their car claiming that Mosib bought it. However, Mosib demanded the car to be brought to him, to sell later in Lattakia, then he got rid of its owners. “the two men”
Another crime reported against Ali Hamdan when he stole money from shoes sellers, then killed them and burned their bodies.
Dozens of people, men and women were abducted, kept in prisons, tortured and killed. Many times the killing took place even after receiving the ransom.
