   I learned from Syrian military colleagues that about 3,000 Syrian troops
   were executed since mid-March for refusing to open fire on protesters. A
   similar number of troops have been arrested for the same reason. He says
   many army defectors have fled to Turkey, Lebanon and al-Anbar in Iraq. The
   likelihood of a military coup has become virtually impossible because the
   Alawites and their Druze and Christian allies have completely eliminated
   Sunnis from ranking positions. All army units have been placed under firm
   control by pro-regime military commanders. The chief of staff of the
   Syrian army Daoud Naf'a, who is Christian, has no control over the army.
   Naf'a is believed to have entered in a dialogue with U.S. officials and
   has, thus, become suspect.
