Dozens of bodies found near Damascus

DOZENS of corpses have been found in a hospital morgue in the Syrian province of Damascus, a monitoring group says, adding the circumstances of the deaths are not immediately clear.

"We know they were shot dead, most likely during clashes with the army," Syrian Observatory for Human Rights director Rami Abdel Rahman said on Sunday.

"Most likely, the corpses belong to rebel fighters, but we cannot currently confirm that."

Amateur video posted on YouTube by activists showed piles of men's bodies in a morgue.

The bodies were found in an area southwest of Damascus between Moadamiyat al-Sham and Daraya, scene of a vicious army assault and battles with rebels, leading up to a massacre of more than 500 people in Daraya at the end of August.

"The bodies may belong to fighters killed in fighting in the area over the course of recent months," said Abdel Rahman.

Syria's revolt began in March last year as pro-reform protests but morphed into an armed insurgency when demonstrations were brutally crushed.

Most rebels, like the population, are Sunni Muslims in a country dominated by a minority regime of Alawites, an offshoot of Shi'ite Islam.
