(AP) BEIRUT – Armed Shiite clansmen in Lebanon said Wednesday they had captured more than 20 Syrians and will hold them until one of their relatives seized by rebels inside Syria is freed. The tensions were a stark reminder of how easily Syria’s civil war could spill over to neighboring states. In Geneva, a U.N. investigation said Syrian President Bashar Assad’s forces and pro-government militiamen were responsible for war crimes during a May bloodbath in the village of Houla that killed more than 100 civilians, nearly half of them children. It also said rebels were blamed for war crimes in at least three other killings. The report by the U.N. Human Rights Council said the scale of the Houla carnage indicated “involvement at the highest levels” of Syria’s military and government. It is first time the U.N. has described events in Syria’s civil war as war crimes and could be used in possible future prosecution against Assad or others.

Ahmed Salad, a businessman, says an advance team of militants entered Haradhere in two vehicles late Sunday. Somali pirates and insurgents are two separate groups. If al-Shabab, which is linked to al Qaeda, takes control of pirate strongholds, the pirates’ 300-plus foreign hostages could be in greater danger. The Chandlers have been held hostage for nearly six months and were seen pleading for 사다리 사이트 검증 help in a video released in January, though the video’s date could not be verified. British broadcaster Sky News aired the footage of 59-year-old Paul Chandler and his wife Rachel. The pair were heading to Tanzania in their yacht, when they were kidnapped by pirates late last October. In the video, both appear uninjured but frail and underweight. The couple claim that they’ve been separated and held in solitary confinement. They ask for help to pay for their ransom, saying they’re innocent people who’ve done no wrong. British Foreign Secretary David Miliband recently said the government won’t get involved in any ransom payments, but, he says the government can’t stand in the way of private citizens. “They kept asking for...
