Syria's authorities say Alawite shrine attack is 'old'; dates to takeover of Aleppo

Syria's new authorities said Wednesday that video footage of an attack on an Alawite shrine was "old" and that "unknown groups" were behind the incident after protests erupted in the minority community's heartland.

The footage showing "the storming and attack" of the shrine in Aleppo is "old and dates to the time of the liberation" of the northern Syrian city by Islamist-led rebels earlier this month, an interior ministry statement said, adding that the attack was carried out by "unknown groups" and that "republishing" the video served to "stir up strife among the Syrian people at this sensitive stage."
