"Later it was revealed and confirmed by Human Rights Watch that the slain individual was not a child but an adult named Abdallah Tayseer al Issa, a 19 year old Alawite from."[edit]

Sorry but this sentence is a bizarr propaganda lie. HRW has nothing "confirmed". 93.219.160.224 (talk) 10:54, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

HRW certainly hasn't confirmed, but it is no lie that the individual's age is widely disputed. See https://www.reddit.com/r/syriancivilwar/comments/4ua845/beheading_of_abdullah_tayseer_al_issa_by_matin/

There is no dispute that he had an ID showing his age as 19. This may be wrong but it is the ID his captors had. They may have thought it accurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.210.22.199 (talk) 04:29, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

al-Masdar News[edit]

Not a WP:RELIABLE source. It is what the New York Times calls a "pro-government news site" run by "Editor in Chief" Leith Abou Fadel. The NYT picks apart one of Fadel's claims here. A Reddit community has banned Almasdarnews and contends that Fadel "will not shy away from posting outright false information".--Brian Dell (talk) 03:00, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Is this group still active?[edit]

I think it might be more accurate to say "was" instead of "is" when describing this group, pretty sure they're totally defunct at this point. I'll look into it some more though. Jushyosaha604 (talk) 04:50, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No evidence that they're still active, so changed the article to use past tense. Jushyosaha604 (talk) 03:38, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
