WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Photographs of the torture and killing of thousands of detainees in Syria suggest serious international crimes by the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, the U.S. State Department said on Tuesday.

A Syrian military police photographer has supplied "clear evidence" showing the systematic torture and killing of about 11,000 detainees in circumstances that evoked Nazi death camps, former war crimes prosecutors said.
