More than 20 UN observers were allowed on Friday into al-Qubeir were dozens of people were brutally killed and injured.

"Inside some of the houses, blood was visible across the walls and floors.  Fire was still burning outside houses and there was a strong stench of burnt flesh," UN spokesman Martin Nesirky said in New York, delivering a grisly account of the visit.
UN officials accused the government forces and allies were behind the attack on the village.

"Armored vehicle tracks were visible in the vicinity. Some homes were damaged by rockets from armored vehicles, grenades and a range of caliber weapons," Nesirky said.

Damascus firmly denied responsibility, as it blamed foreign-backed terrorists for the massacre.

For his part, Syria's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Bashar al-Jaafari, said that killing innocent civilians in al-Qubeir took place 5 hours before any clashes happened, adding that the images broadcast by al-Jazeera and al-Arabia were not those of the massacre victims.

''The Syrian TVs will air the true images of the massacre…The instigative media channels have taken to airing such fabrications before the UN Security Council meetings,'' added al-Jaafari.

He said that the locals affirmed that the gunmen who committed the crime came from another village called ''Jreijes'' which led the locals to call for the help of the law-enforcement members.
