UN rights body condemns Syrian use of foreign fighters in Qusayr
2013-05-30
[Al Ahram] The UN's top rights body on Wednesday voted to condemn the Syrian regime's use of imported muscle in the besieged town of Qusayr and ordered an urgent probe into the killings in the town.
But the influx of foreign jihadis joining Al Qaeda in Iraq's Syrian branch is just fine?
Thirty-six of the UN Human Rights Council's 47 member states voted in favour of the resolution that implicitly refers to the involvement of fighters from Leb's bad boy group Hezbollah in the fierce battle for the strategic town.

Eight countries abstained, two refrained from voting and only Venezuela cast its vote against the resolution.
