REPORT: Islamists capture Syria’s Maan Alawite village

Islamist fighters seized control of Maan Alawite village in the central province of Hama, part of an offensive to try to cut off supply routes from Damascus to the north of the country.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said the Islamists killed at least 40 people in the village of Maan, mainly from a pro-Assad National Defense Force militia.

However, the government said the dead were mainly women and children and accused the fighters of committing a massacre on the eve of the resumption of peace talks in Geneva.
