NOVEMBER 2012 CAUTION This video contains GRAPHIC content. This video surfaced and was provided by the Syrian Observatory For Human Rights, claiming it is authentic raw footage Syrian rebels gathering, and executing regular Syrian army soldiers. On the video the rebel soldiers (if they are rebel soldiers) kick and assault the captured army soldiers (if they are Syria army soldiers). Then the sound of gunfire is heard and dust appears from bullets hitting the ground. It appears that the rebels have killed the captured soldiers and that is what both news reports and the Syrian Observatory For Human Rights have stated is shown. From viewing the video, with all the dust, it is hard to determine with complete certainty that the captured soldiers were executed, but regardless of that it was clear that they were being kicked and abused before the sound of gunfire. The observatory has stated that this event occurred after the rebel soldiers captured an army checkpoint west of Saraqeb in Syria's Idlib province. The authenticity of this video or its source has not been verified, and most likely it cannot be verified. However, it raises the question of respect for human rights on both sides of the Syrian conflict and complicates Western efforts to bring about a negotiated settlement leading to respect for human rights of all ethnic groups.

www.euronews.com The United Nations has warned that an unverified video which appears to show Syrian rebels killing captured regime soldiers could constitute a war crime. The footage was uploaded to social media sites on Thursday. The alleged executions happened after rebels overran army checkpoints near the town of Saraqib between Aleppo and Hammah. The UN says it is attempting to confirm that the killings have taken place. "Unfortunately this could be just the latest in a string of documented summary executions by opposition factions as well as by government forces and groups affiliated with them such as the Shabiha," said Rupert Colville, the UN human rights spokesman. Activists claim the Shabiha is a brutal militia which has been fighting alongside Syrian government forces. They're accused of carrying out several massacres during the uprising. But they appear to be among the victims in this video, as rebels refer to them in their commentary. The men are forced to lay down on the ground before being beaten and shot.

Grieving survivors describe Afghan massacre; US military war crimes & Genocide against Pashtuns in Afghanistan Reporter Yalda Hakim of Australia's SBS network has become the first western journalist to visit the villages where a US soldier allegedly killed 17 people. In a remarkable report she talks with some of the survivors and some Afghan guards on duty at the military camp from where Staff Sergeant Robert Bales left on his alleged killing spree. The video at the top of this story is Hakim's account of her journey to the remote villages near Kandahar and what she was told. Bales is now held at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas and has been charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder. The events of that March night in a rural area some 20 kilometers from Kandahar are being investigated by both the US military and Afghan authorities. But much remains unknown. Many Afghans, including some of the survivors that night, believe more than one US soldier was present in the two villages where the killings took place. Others speak of seeing a single American soldier leaving Camp Belambai that night The US military says there is no evidence that more than one man was involved in the shootings. Bales has not entered a plea. The killings made headlines around the world but at times it seemed the victims were ...

President Obama and Republican Mitt Romney both set out on four-state campaign marathons Sunday morning, as a batch of new polls showed Obama holding on to slim leads in a handful of states that could swing the election. Obama left Washington on Sunday morning for the last time before election day. His itinerary for the second-to-last day of a seemingly endless campaign: New Hampshire, Florida, Ohio, Colorado. In Concord, NH, Obama appeared with former President Bill Clinton before a crowd of 14000 at the state capitol. Obama took the stage after Clinton, and told the crowd that during Clinton's presidency "a Senate candidate named Mitt Romney said Bill Clinton's plan would hurt the economy and kill jobs," Obama said. "Turns out his math was as bad then as it is now," Obama said. Romney's Sunday swing will take him to Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia. The challenger held his first event Sunday morning in Des Moines, returning to a state where Romney has campaigned heavily in two election cycles, but has always remained just out of his reach. "Talk is cheap, but a record is real and it's earned with real effort," Romney told a boisterous crowd of 4000 at the Hy-Vee Hall in downtown Des Moines. He reprised a common stump-speech appeal, asking his supporters to reach out to friends and neighbors who may still be undecided. "You can't measure change in speeches. You measure change in achievements," Romney said. With the election looming on Tuesday, new polls seemed to ...
