They did the same in Afghanistan back in the eighties. It's always good to have a bunch of terrorists on your paylist if you have to secure some oil/gas fields, pipelines or blow up something for restrict the rights of your own citizens and silence your opposition.

Asymmetric information warfare at played as well.

The goal is to confuse the population long enough to achieve the objective.

i don't know what's going on in syria anymore either.. our news/media outlets don't really do a good job keeping up with it. probably because they want to cover the things that people truly care about, like what new hairstyle jennifer lawrence has.

I only followed the beginning of the Syrian war, which looked identical to the Tunis/Libya/Egypt destabilisation operations.
There lived (lives) a large Russian community in Syria, and reports from them was that the conflict was imported, that residents were actually looking to the army for protection from the attacks, hoping for a quick resolution.

I don't know where it all spiralled to nowadays...

(Speaking of Libya)

US trains Syrian rebels in Qatar to ‘ambush' soldiers and 'finish off' the wounded – report
http://rt.com/news/161820-us-trains-syrian-rebels/

Quote
At a secret base in Qatar, the US military is training rebels to raid Syrian government troops and vehicles, as well as to “finish off the soldiers still alive after an ambush,” first-hand interviews in a Frontline documentary have revealed.

The documentary, scheduled to air Tuesday night on PBS stations, offers rare insight into how Washington is fostering the armed insurgency against Syrian President Bashar Assad.

In related news, Russia is going to give Syria €240 million donation for social needs and rebuilding.
