Syrian rebel video-taped cutting out soldier’s heart

The pro-Syrian opposition Human Rights Watch identified the rebel as Abu Sakkar, head of the Independent Omar al-Farouq Brigade from the town of Homs and said his actions, including taking a bite out of the soldier’s heart, were a war crime. He declared: “I swear to God we will eat your hearts and your livers, you soldiers of Bashar the dog.” The main opposition coalition said Sakkar would be put on trial.
The tape has stirred widespread condemnation, drowning out rebel warnings that the Syrian army is on the point of perpetrating a massacre in Homs.
