Syria Opposition Condemns Khan al-Assal 'Executions' -- BBC
Syria's main opposition alliance has condemned the alleged execution of government forces when rebels captured the northern town of Khan al-Assal.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 150 soldiers had been killed last week, 51 of them summarily executed.
State media accused "terrorist groups" of committing a massacre, and said most of the victims had been civilians.
On Sunday, the National Coalition promised to investigate the incident and hold accountable those responsible.
It came two days after a rebel group, calling itself the Supporters of the Islamic Caliphate, posted a video online purportedly showing about 30 bodies of young men, who it claimed were pro-government militiamen.
