DAMASCUS: Jihadists in Syria were accused Friday of war crimes over the killing of 190 civilians from President Bashar Assad’s Alawite minority, in the largest atrocity attributed to rebel fighters.

Human Rights Watch said another 200 people — the vast majority women and children — were taken hostage in the operations that took place in August and are still being carried out.

The report, which urged an arms embargo on groups suspected of war crimes or crimes against humanity, said at least 67 of the victims were “executed or unlawfully killed.”

It comes as NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen said he sees no military solution to the 31-month conflict in Syria, which has killed more than 115,000 people.

HRW said the killings began on Aug. 4, the first day of the Eid Al-Fitr, in a sweep of villages in Latakia province, an Alawite stronghold.

“These abuses were not the actions of rogue fighters,” said HRW’s Joe Stork. “This operation was a coordinated, planned attack on the civilian population.”

The 105-page report, based on interviews with 35 survivors, emergency personnel and fighters on both sides, said at least 20 groups were involved, but that five “are responsible for specific incidents that amount to war crimes.”

Meanwhile, HRW quoted opposition forces, including an officer involved in negotiations, as saying ISIL and Jaish Al-Muhajireen Wal-Ansar are holding 200 hostages, mostly women and children.

It called for them to be treated humanely and released immediately, urging countries with influence over the groups to press for their liberation.

Russia, meanwhile, accused Syrian rebels of receiving chemical weapons training in lawless parts of Afghanistan and planning attacks on the territory of Iraq. In Athens, NATO’s Rasmussen “there is no military solution to the conflict in Syria,” emphasizing a political solution was required to end it.
