Amateur video out of Syria shows the aftermath of a massacre in Syria.

The video, which could not be independently verified by Reuters shows bullets on the streets and a swollen animal carcass.

Only one woman appeared to remain in the hamlet that was the site of the slaughter of 78 people. She says security officials beat men with sticks until they died. She says children were burnt.

Streets are soaked with blood.

Homes are torn a apart.

Bloodstained sheets and clothing have been left behind.

Syrian authorities have condemned the killings, blaming the acts on terrorists.

The United Naton's says more than 10,000 people have been killed in Syria since the uprising began last March.
