Damascus: The UN
supervision mission in Syria has discovered 13 bodies near Deir
al-Zour province, with all of them with their hands tied behind
their backs, the mission's spokeswoman said in a statement
Wednesday.
The bodies were discovered Tuesday night in Assukar area, 50 km
east of Deir al-Zour, Xinhua quoted Sausan Ghosheh as saying,
adding that some of them appeared to have been shot in the head
from a short distance.
Ghosheh said the head of the UN observers, Major General Robert
Mood, is "deeply disturbed by this appalling and inexcusable act".
Mood called on all parties to exercise restraint and end the cycle
of violence for the sake of Syria and the Syrian people, Ghosheh
said.
