Over 60 Syrians shot in head, execution style, while bound
A Syrian opposition group says 65 people have been found shot dead, with their hands bound, in Aleppo.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the death toll could rise as high as 80, calling the killings a “new massacre”.

Photos posted online by opposition activists showed the muddied bodies of several men lying by a small river near the western outskirts of the city in northern Syria.
Close-up shots of some of the corpses showed they had what appeared to be gunshot wounds to the head.
Most have their hands tied behind their backs.
It was not clear who carried out the killings.
Restrictions on independent media in Syria make it difficult to verify reports from activists.
The fighting, which began almost two years ago, has claimed at least 60,000 lives.
More than 700,000 people have fled the violence, according to the United Nations.
The Global Dispatch cannot get confirmed details on the photos/videos therefore we will not post any of them at this time.
