Islamist rebels execute 11 Syrian soldiers for 'massacres'

Fighters of the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front in Syria executed 11 men they accused of taking part in massacres by President Bashar Assad's forces, a video published on Thursday showed.

Videos of executions and torture have become increasingly common in Syria, where more than 94,000 people have been killed in a conflict now in its third year, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a pro-opposition monitoring group. (Reuters)
