None

A leading international watchdog on Thursday accused an al-Qaeda-linked rebel group that controls large parts of northern Syria of running secret prisons in which torture and summary killings are common.

 

The allegations by Amnesty International came just hours after the UN General Assembly approved a resolution condemning "widespread" violations by Syrian government forces. (AP)
