Yeah. From the rebel's point of view, this is a bit of an idiotic thing to do. hostages are always worth more alive than dead. Always. And killing them could get Iran more openly involved.

Rat's (Rebel) crimes being uncovered:

Horrors of war: Mass grave discovered in Damascus

As the Syrian Army expelled rebel forces out of the capital of Damascus, soldiers discovered a mass grave of 20 corpses buried under rocks and other debris.

­The mass grave was uncovered in the Yelda district of Damascus, which had been under rebel control for the past few days. The 20 corpses the army dug up were burnt and defaced, said China’s Xinhua news agency.

Armed men harassed and killed the civilians, and then buried the bodies, locals told RT Arabic’s correspondents. Some described the stench of dead corpses blanketing entire areas of the city. The victims reportedly include both civilians and military personnel. Others claimed that the number killed is much higher than the 20 reported.

The rebels are claiming that 3 of the hostages died in a shelling attack already though.

They would have been better off (although rather immoral, not that they seem to care about that...) killing them all and claiming that Assad killed them with shelling.

About 20 minutes until the hour runs out, assuming the statement was tweeted more or less live.

The original report I saw was that those 3 died in the shelling. The threat was against the other 45.

No news yet on whether the rebels carried out their threat by the way. Looks like they haven't yet.
