U.N. report finds both factions in Syria committing atrocities

And while the UN finds atrocities on both factions in Syria, lets not forget how much of that has been caused by Obama and his supplying the arms to start WW3 !!! As for the atrocities, I think Obama and his CIA cohorts should be held accountable for all of the atrocities they have done, and ordered just to have their wars for PROFIT. And lets also not forget that while Obama, CIA and all the rest of them are doing this, count the murders of the innocent men, women and children they go after which are civilians, not connected in their wars..ALL THE TROOPS AROUND THE WORLD OUGHT TO TELL THESE CORPORATIONS TO GO AND FIGHT THEIR OWN BATTLES THAT THEY START, NOT OUR TROOPS..!! NEXT ON THE AGENDA IS OUR TROOPS NEED TO ARREST, CHARGE AND PROSECUTE ALL WHO ARE DOING THE HARM TO HUMANITY..BY THE WAY, THAT INCLUDES THESE BANKERS THAT BELIEVE THAT EVERYONE CAN BE BOUGHT AT A PRICE..THAT KIND OF THINING MAKES FOR A VERY POOR HUMAN BEING.. I'M SORRY, I FORGOT, THEY ARE PARASITES!!!!!

September 11, 2013 – SYRIA – U.N. rights investigators have established that Syrian government forces were almost certainly responsible for two massacres last May in which up to 450 civilians were killed, a report published on Wednesday said. The report documented eight mass killings in all, attributing all but one to government forces, but said both government and rebel fighters had committed war crimes including murder, hostage-taking and shelling of civilians in their battle for territory. The killings in Baida and Ras al-Nabaa, two pockets of rebel sympathizers surrounded by villages loyal to President Bashar al-Assad on the outskirts of the coastal town of Banias, sent a chilling message of the price to be paid for backing the rebels. The U.N. commission of inquiry has not been allowed into Syria, but its 20 investigators carried out 258 interviews with refugees, defectors and others, in the region and in Geneva, including via Skype, for their 11th report in two years. In Baida, it said between 150 and 250 civilians had allegedly been killed, including 30 women, apparently executed, who were found in one house. It said armed rebels were not active in the area at the time. “Testimonies were consistent that members of the National Defense Forces were actively involved in the raids and in many cases leading them,’ the report said. “Accordingly, there are reasonable grounds to believe that government forces and affiliated militias including the National Defense Forces are the perpetrators of the al-Bayda (Baida) massacre.”
The next day, as word spread that militia fighters were advancing with army support, hundreds of civilians tried to flee the neighboring village of Ras al-Nabaa, but were pushed back at checkpoints. Government forces proceeded to shell the village and then militia fighters moved in. “As they raided the village, civilians were captured and executed,” the report said, adding: “The operation did not occur in the context of a military confrontation. Government forces were in full control of the area.” It gave a figure of 150-200 dead in Ras al-Nabaa. At least 100,000 people have been killed and millions driven from their homes in the conflict, which began in March 2011 as an uprising against Assad and descended into a civil war where mostly Sunni Muslim rebels are pitted against Assad’s forces, who are backed by Shi’ite Muslim Iran and Hezbollah. The only deliberate slaughter of civilians attributed to rebel forces in the period of investigation was in June, when rebels captured Hatla in the eastern province of Deir al-Zor. “During the takeover, anti-government armed group fighters conducted home invasions, killing and summarily executing (by shooting at close range) many Shia including at least 30 civilians, among them children, women and elderly,” it said. The 42-page report, which largely covered incidents between May and July, also accused forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad of bombing schools and hospitals, and the rebels of carrying out summary executions after sentencing by Islamic Sharia courts lacking due process. –Reuters
