"(Reuters) - The Syrian government is reportedly using local militias known as
Popular Committees to commit mass killings which are at times sectarian in
nature, U.N. human rights investigators said on Monday.
"In a disturbing and dangerous trend, mass killings allegedly perpetrated by
Popular Committees have at times taken on sectarian overtones," the U.N.
commission of inquiry on Syria, led by Brazilian Paulo Pinheiro, said in its latest
report to the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva. Investigators cited accounts
from witnesses and victims."
