The goalkeeper of the Syrian national Under-23 soccer team as well as well as for the Al Karama soccer club in Homs, a focal point of the eight-month old uprising against embattled President Bashar al-Assad, is emerging as a leader of the protests in the city’s Al Bayyadh district.
Abd al Basset Saroot appeared briefly on Saturday on Al Jazeera wearing a bandana and talking on a mobile phone to confirm that his brother and 11 others had been killed in the government’s brutal crackdown on anti-government protesters. Mr. Saroot said he was standing in the place where the 12 people died as he was speaking to Al Jazeera. He held up for the camera empty shells, which he described as the "Iranian heavy weapons" with which the protesters were attacked.
