Video Shows Syrian Rebel Eating Heart of Government Soldier
West sending aid, mulling weapons, for rebels
A graphic video has emerged of a Syrian rebel commander cutting out the heart of a government soldier's chest and biting into it.
Described by Human Rights Watch as "emblematic" of a civil war that has rapidly descended into sectarian hatred and revenge killings, the amateur footage was posted on the internet yesterday - sparking outrage among opposition figures as well as supporters of President Bashar al-Assad.
