#1 hmm - well that should put to rest the notion that they were Kurds. Sounds like Syrian Muslim Brotherhood, who apparently were tight with the Saddamites (per dan darling on WOC)
Unless of course it was stage managed by the Syrians themselves. Of course one wonders how this relates to differences between Syrian Baath and Baby Assad - could be as complex as Saudi?

#2 Word on the street is that Assad staged the attack himself so that he could declare to the world that "Syria, too, was now fighting terrorism."
To the best of my knowledge, there is no difference between Assad and Syrian Baathists.
