Syria crisis: 'Bodies of executed men' found in Aleppo
Large numbers of bodies were found on the banks of the Quwaiq River, which runs through Aleppo. The bodies had been executed, with their hands tied behind their backs. At least 65 bodies were found but more remain in the water. The death toll could reach 100.
There is not enough information to tell who is responsible for the bodies but people are pointing fingers. Activists claim that the victims were arrested by forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad, then killed.
Sources from the Syrian government claim that the victims were kidnapped by "terrorists,"the term officials use to describe the rebels.
Aleppo was been a center for conflict for some time now. It is occupied by both government and rebel forces, neither of which can push out the other.
