Report: Children Endure "Unspeakable Suffering" in Syria Conflict 
------------------------------------------------------------------


 
A new U.N. report warns children in Syria are enduring "unspeakable
suffering," mostly at the hands of the Assad regime. The report says
Syrian children have suffered abuses including torture, maiming and
sexual crimes. Government forces are said to have been the main
culprits, but the report says rebel groups have committed increasing
attacks on children over the past year.
