GENEVA (Reuters) -War crimes were likely committed by interim government forces as well as by fighters loyal to Syria's former rulers during sectarian violence that culminated in a series of massacres in March, U.N. investigators said on Thursday.
Some 1,400 people, mainly civilians, were reported killed during the violence in coastal areas that primarily targeted Alawites, and reports of violations such as abductions continue, according to a report by the U.N. Syria Commission of Inquiry.
