Islamist rebels and jihadists in Syria are guilty of war crimes, Amnesty International said in a report Tuesday, accusing them of "a chilling wave of abductions, torture and summary killings".
The London-based rights group named five Syrian anti-regime factions operating in northern Syria: Al-Qaeda affiliate Al-Nusra Front, hardliner
Ahrar al-Sham, Nureddin Zinki, the Levant Front and Division 16.
The groups have detained and tortured lawyers, journalists,and children -- among others -- for criticising them, committing acts seen as immoral, or being minorities, the report said.
