Massacre of the innocents: Bodies of up to 57 women and children discovered in Syria

At least 47 women and children, including two three year-olds, have been executed by militia loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad and the death toll is expected to rise, activists claimed last night.

Opposition officials described the murders as a 'massacre' with the bodies of 26 children and 21 women found so far.

Some of the victims are said to have been beaten and tortured before being lined-up and shot through the heart or head, others were stabbed in the back or had their throat slit in the Karm el-Zeytoun district of the embattled city of Homs.
