Alleged Mass Grave Video Emerges from Syria

This is one of several videos appearing on YouTube of atrocities in Syria.

Reports say the grave was near the southern Syrian city of Deraa and contained at least 13 bodies which were were discovered on Monday, May 16. Syrian authorities have barred media coverage of the uprising there, so it is hard to verify.
