Shaykh Ahmad Saleh al-Hamad was murdered yesterday in his Mosque, Jami` `Abdullah Ibn al-Zubayr, in Tadamon, Damascus city. The Mosque was reportedly stormed by Shabbiha who killed and mutilated the Imam, his son and several other worshippers with knives. Shaykh Ihsan Ba`drani of Hama has more information on his FB page [containing graphic images]: http://www.facebook.com/Dr.Ihsan.Baadarani.Official.Page

There have been several videos showing how Imams were abused and taken away, as well as the attack on Shaykh Usama Rifa`i and his Mosque. I recall Shaykh al-Ya`qoubi mentioning in one of his videos [I can't seem to find back this exact video and quote yet either, will add this when I do] that nearly 100 scholars have been murdered by this regime for the past year.
