Alleged Looting by Syrian Army

I'll be honest: I'm not entirely sure what's going on in the video. According to the title, President Assad's army is looting museum pieces in the chaos of the civil war. Now, I can clearly see the museum pieces; they look like statues which I confused for Egyptian works at first.

However I have no clue what a Syrian soldier looks like, versus an FSA soldier. I'm inclined to believe that the Syrian army would loot museums, yet I'm not sure if that's a western oriented opinion based on the values we attribute to the Assad regime. I mean, what reason would they have to loot anyway? The point is it is distressing to see looting of precious history anywhere, and increases the worry of the Arab Spring causing irreparable damage to the region's ancient heritage.

A subnote: this video's comments are the reason I hate the Internet.
