A video which appears to show a Syrian rebel taking a bite from the heart of a dead soldier has been widely condemned.US-based Human Rights Watch identified the rebel as Abu Sakkar, a well-known insurgent from the city of Homs, and said his actions were a war crime.
The main Syrian opposition coalition said he would be put on trial.BBC
The video, which cannot be independently authenticated, seems to show him cutting out the heart.
"I swear to God we will eat your hearts and your livers, you soldiers of Bashar the dog," the man says referring to President Bashar al-Assad as he stands over the soldier's corpse...

Right. Say all the right things, do all the wrong things.
In the same edition, there is a report of Mr. Kerry threatening the Syrian regime if they do not attend the peace negotiations scheduled for June.
Exactly why the Syrian government would negotiate with these groups is not quite clear anymore.
I really became involved in this sham over Syria - the sham being that there are real rebels without backing and finance by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and that Israel is not involved as a way to lessen Iran's influence - when I saw the pictures of the Syrian rebels: there was a so-called rebel with large tattoos of women on his back.
Since Muslims disapprove of tattoos and representations of the human figure, this was an immediate indication that these rebels were hired mercenaries.
Tattoed Muslims?
This entire charade has never been anything more than a conspiracy between the US government, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Israel to get rid of Syria's Shia influence: to establish Sunni hegemony in the near Middle East and add to the repression of Shia minorities... as well as Christians, Druzes, Alawi, and every other minority.
Why would our government do this? Why would Mr. Obama, whom we supported for years, do this thoughtless deed? It essentially comes down to Benjamin Netanyahu telling the US government what to do and when to do it.
By spending the last two years threatening to bomb Iran, Israel frightened the US and I suppose the US government breathed a sigh of relief when everything became an attack on Syria.
And in this time of fiscal cut-backs and reduction of benefits, we are paying full price for it. We have paid for the umbrella of support which covers the violence and atrocities.
I am simply tired of being lied to. I have been lied to about Iraq over a ten year period. I have been lied to about the financial sector in my country and around the world. I have been lied to about the economic justifications of cut-backs that effect me directly.
I frankly am sick and tired, and I am not going to take it anymore!
