Violence is one thing, but what causes real terror is the threat of kidnapping



 'People are more terrified by an ever-present risk that they, their children or other relatives may be kidnapped than they are by a more momentary fear of being hit by a shell, a bomb or a bullet.'

 If you re-define 'people' as 'supporters of the Assad régime', as Patrick Cockburn seems to do here.
