Syrian Foreign Ministry sent a message to UN SG Ban Ki-moon about the massacre carried out by terrorists in the town of Khan al-Assal

On Saturday the Syrian Foreign Ministry sent a message to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in which it notified the Security Council about the massacre carried out by militants in the town of Khan al-Assal 20km west of ‪Aleppo‬.

The message reads that 132 Syrian citizens – civilians and servicemen – became victims of a massacre carried out by militants from an extremist organisation associated with al-Qaeda.

Hundreds of rebel criminals invaded Khan al-Assal a few days ago to control the area and interrupt food and medication supplies to Aleppo besieged by them, the message reports. The rebels arranged a slaughter of civilians and servicemen taken prisoner in the town.

The Syrian Foreign Ministry places responsibility for this crime upon those countries that support the anti-government gangs in Syria.
