Syrian Army Abandons Saraqeb as Rebels are Accused of War Crimes

Another Syrian base has fallen to the rebel forces.

National forces abandoned a base near the northern town of Saraqeb, on Friday.

A heavy assault by rebels pushed the army out of the area.

It is yet one more blow against the Assad regime's control and one more move for the rebels to cut Aleppo off.

However, Thursday a video came out of what appears to be Syrian rebels executing captured military forces, during the assault.

The UN has condemned the video as proof of war crimes, which the government has regularly accused the rebels of.
