Syrian Kurdish fighter's selfie video leads to allegations of massacre

A video posted online on January 22 shows a Kurdish fighter posing selfie-style in front of 21 lifeless bodies following the evacuation of a prison in Kobane, Syria. While the Syrian Democratic Forces said the footage is authentic, they maintain the bodies were those of armed combatants – a claim contradicted by our Observer, who was released from the same prison.
