Description
Images show rebel fighters watching the tomb of ousted Syrian president Bashar al-Assad's father Hafez burn in his hometown of Qardaha. "We are at the tomb of Hafez al-Assad, we came and saw it be burnt and destroyed by the people of his village because he starved them, because they hated him," says one Latakia resident at the site. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor told AFP the rebels had set fire to the mausoleum, located in the Latakia heartland of Assad's Alawite community. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
