LONDON — Iran has provided sniper units to kill Syrian protesters targeted by the regime of President Bashar Assad.

 Syrian opposition sources said Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has sent scores of snipers to help in Assad's crackdown of the revolt. They said the snipers were ordered to target protest organizers as well as those filming the demonstrations.

"IRGC has supplied sharpshooters who accompany Syrian security forces to all demonstrations and shoot the key people," an opposition source said.

The sources said IRGC has been assigned to what they termed the "dirty work" in quelling the revolt against Assad. They said IRGC, aided by Hizbullah, was also participating in the identification and capture of rebels, including defecting soldiers.

 

IRGC was said to have supplied artillery and main battle tank shells to maintain the Syrian Army's drive against the rebels. The sources said Iran also transported tools for the torture of detained protesters.
