Junk title. Article is about the new government trying to find Assad loyalists who killed a bunch of cops. Title implies civil rights crackdown.

Yeah. This is a really bad article headline. It completely changes the reader's perception of what it is going to say. Clickbait title. They are going after regime loyalists.
