The boy who stared death in the face - Mail & Guardian Online

The boy who stared death in the face - Mail & Guardian Online:

An 11-year-old boy has described how he smeared himself with the blood of his slain brother and played dead after loyalist gunmen burst into his home and killed six members of his family at the start of a massacre in Houla in central Syria. 

“Why are you asking me who they were? I know who they were. We all know it. They were the regime army and people who fight with them. That is true.”

The Guardian was unable to verify the account and has chosen not to name the boy. 



hmmmmm
