IS executes also relatives of opponents

damascus - Extremists Islamic State have in the Syrian city of Deir al-Zor alongside dozens of enemy soldiers they had seized, also executed their relatives. The drama took place in the district Begayliya, which is actually still in the hands of government forces.

The estimate of the number of victims is quite different. The government in Damascus spoke Saturday at least 250 deaths. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the sixty victims had been confirmed from the city.
