More than 1,300 Syrians killed in 72 hours amid clashes and acts of revenge

Syrian fighters and civilians carry the coffin of a member of the Syrian security forces during his funeral in Hama province on March 9.

A human rights group characterized the killings as executions and massacres, carried out in revenge against the Alawite community, which made up Assad's longtime base of support.
