U.N. observers have discovered 13 bound corpses in eastern Syria, many of them apparently shot execution-style, the monitoring mission said Wednesday. The announcement comes days after a massacre in Houla, in the central Homs province, which killed more than 100 people and prompted worldwide condemnation against the regime of President Bashar Assad.

    Even in trying to escape from violence there is senseless violence. There is no military need for shooting at a woman and child trying to be safe. It is simply a form of genocide.
