Video: UN Monitors visit site of Syrian massacre
United Nations Monitors Friday entered the Syrian village where 78 people were reportedly massacred by pro-government militias this Wednesday. Ayman Mohyeldin, NBC correspondent, joins News Nation?s Tamron Hall from Cairo to discuss ongoing developments.
>>> united nations monitors entered the area where 78 villagers have been massacred. they came under fire yesterday by syrian forces and government supporters. this latest massacre comes less than two weeks after 108 people were killed in the nearby town of houla. many of those were children. ayman is watching developments from cairo. as i understand it, the reports coming out since the monitors have been able to reach that village has been absolutely horrific.
>> that's correct. the u.n. has been tight lipped about what it's seen so far. accompanying the u.n. was journalists and some of their reports are coming out now. those have been substantiated. in one video, the account given by an eyewitness is shocking. it shows blood stained clothes, the clubs that they say were used by the militias against the civilians. you see pictures of livestock completely killed as the tanks rolled over many parts of that city. so it seems now that the amateur video and the accounts posted online a few days ago are now being substantiated. once it comes up with the conclusions and findings will make them public for people to see. the accounts are there. what has the international community been waiting for? that is the puzzle.
>> are we expecting any new information regarding what could possibly be the next move for the u.n.?
>> there is now a talk of a contract group. one of the goals is to try and get china and russia, one of the allies of syria, to try and get them on board with what is called the yemeni solution, perhaps a solution that can be put forth to the president of syria where he would step down and allow for a transition of power to take place with some of his close aides or a transition over the next month or perhaps even a years. right now, there's no indication that either one of those countries is supports any regime change.
>> all right. thank you, ayman.
>>> and a heartbreaking and disturbing
