Syrian military intelligence has killed dozens of detainees in Idlib, couple of hours before the humiliating defeat of Bashar al-Assad forces by Islamist rebels on Saturday.
Activists posted online footage reportedly was taken inside intelligence headquarters in the liberated city of Idlib showing tens of bodies.
The Fatah Army, an alliance of Islamist groups including al Qaeda's Nusra Front have seized the city of Idlib for the first time in Syria's civil war.
Fatah Army said in statement it will continue fighting until liberating more Syrian territories.
The statement which seen by Zaman al-Wasl said the Army of Fatah is not a joint task room which has united key rebel groups under one military command. But it’s a real army that includes sufficient and qualified commanders and fighters who will keep fighting to achieve more gains.
The alliance includes al Qaeda's Nusra Front, the hardline Ahrar al-Sham movement and Jund al-Aqsa, but not Islamic State, their rival. They launched the offensive to capture Idlib city on Tuesday.
By taking Idlib, capital of a northwestern province of the same name, hardline Islamist insurgents now control a second province after Raqqa, the stronghold of the Islamic State group which has been the target of U.S.-led air strikes.
Syria's four-year-old war has killed more than 220,000 people and forced millions out of their homes.
