Syrian Rebels 'Kill Pro-Regime Militia'

Graphic new footage has emerged of what it is claimed is rebel soldiers in Syria executing pro-government milita members.

The two-minute video seems to show Shabiha fighters, who are an armed militia group aligned to President Bashar al Assad's regime, being killed.

The men appear to be unarmed.

Sky News is unable to verify the images independently.

The person who posted the video online says it shows rebel soldiers leading members of the militia down a street in Aleppo.

It is Syria's largest city and the scene of intense fighting between government forces and the opposition.

Some of the captives appear to have been beaten or are wounded.

The men are forced to sit down by a wall as a crowd gathers. Many of the men are armed.

Another member of the crowd appears to try to prevent it being filmed.

After a minute of continuous shooting, the dead bodies of the men who had been lined up against the wall can clearly be seen.
