Remember, they ARE a dictatorship. There is always the possibility that perhaps someone was going to talk and maybe they needed to be shut up before they could blow the whistle.....or maybe they're just killing off those who are no longer useful so they can have an excuse to blame the U.S. and/or Israel for everything.
