UN panel says evacuation of Syria's Aleppo was a war crime
GENEVA -- A UN panel said Wednesday the evacuation of eastern Aleppo in December, after months of siege and aerial bombing by Russian and Syrian forces, was one of many war crimes committed by those fighting for control of Syria's largest city.
The Commission of Inquiry on Syria unveiled a report looking at violations by all parties in last year's battle for Aleppo. It singled out a "particularly egregious attack" in which Syrian warplanes targeted a humanitarian aid convoy.
