DAMASCUS, Syria, June 22 (UPI) -- Armed militants were responsible for the killing 25 people in a village in Aleppo province, the official Syrian news agency said Friday.
Opponents of the government said the men were killed in an attack in Darat Izza by the Free Syrian Army, The New York Times reported. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a group with headquarters in Britain, said a video it posted on YouTube proved the dead were members of the military or the Shabiha, the secretive pro-government militia, the opposition said.
