Rebels Accused Of Massacre Of 20 Syrian Soldiers In Their Worst Atrocity So Far -- The Telegraph
A rebel brigade in Aleppo on Monday admitted responsibility for the worst mass killing by Syrian opposition forces since the uprising began, even as the United Nations human rights chief accused them of “murder, extra-judicial execution and torture”.
A video posted on Youtube showed a line of 20 men dressed in army fatigues sprawled along a pavement, all wearing blindfolds and clearly having had their hands bound behind their back.
