‘Film shows Syria rebels beheading boy’

AFP, BEIRUT: A video circulated on social media Tuesday depicts rebel fighters beheading a boy after capturing him north of Syria’s second city Aleppo, a monitor said.
The video shows the boy laying in the back of a truck when a fighter begins to cut off his head with a small knife.
One fighter shouts “we will leave no one in Handarat”, which is north of Aleppo city where there has been fighting between rebels and regime forces.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights confirmed that the video depicts rebel fighters.
In an earlier clip, the boy was sitting in the back of the truck with fighters around him accusing him with being a member of Al Quds brigade, a Palestinian group fighting with the regime forces.
Earlier in July, Amnesty International issued a report saying that Islamist rebels and jihadists in Syria are guilty of war crimes, accusing them of “a chilling wave of abductions, torture and summary killings”.
The London-based rights group named five Syrian anti-regime factions operating in northern Syria among them Nureddin Zinki.
