Video Shows Syrian Rebels Executing Soldiers

HeadlineNov 02, 2012

A new video has been released from Syria showing armed rebels executing a group of government soldiers. On the tape, 10 prisoners are forced to lie on top of one another at an overrun military checkpoint. Anti-government fighters are seen kicking and taunting the captured soldiers before opening fire. Amnesty International has condemned the footage, saying it depicts “utter disregard for international humanitarian law.”
