Usually an alleged massacre by Assad forces takes place just before a UN meeting. The latest allegations of massacres take place just before John Kerry meets Sergei Lavrov in Turkey to discuss Syria and Iran.
Hundreds of Syrians have fled coastal areas where activists accuse government forces of carrying out massacres in a campaign of sectarian cleansing.
Footage of mutilated and burnt bodies, allegedly from the town of Baniyas, have been posted online.
Activists said 77 people had died in Baniyas, a day after 72 were killed at the nearby village of al-Bayda.
The government said it had fought back "terrorist groups" and restored peace and security to the area.

Three weeks short of a year ago today, on 25th March 2012 a massacre took place at al Houla. The massacre took place just days before a crucial vote at the UN on Syria. The rebels blamed the Shabiha. Several foolish politicians, such as Hasty Hague, jumped on the band wagon and accused Assad. But the rebel narrative did not quite work out. It turned out that Houla was a rebel stronghold, yet Shabiha were somehow able to wander the streets of al Houla in broad daylight for hours, slaughtering men, women and children without any rebel response? And who were the families who were slaughtered? They supported Assad. There were numerous contradictions in eye witness reports. And how were these eye witness reports taken? Over the phone by someone in Switzerland, or by the rebels themselves! The much more likely scenario is that a group of FSA/terrorists/bandits came into al Houla, possibly under orders from someone in Turkey or Saudi Arabia, to slaughter those unfortunate families so that Assad could be blamed just before a crucial vote at the UN.
Initial reports are eerily similar to those of al Houla; Sunni families surrounded by villages loyal to Assad are slaughtered by Assad forces.
But to whom were these Sunni families loyal?
The answer to that will indicate who committed this slaughter.
These 'massacres' are either:
1. of FSA al Qaeda rebel terrorists by the Syrian military, or
2. of civilians by FSA al Qaeda rebel terrorists, or
3. a combination of both.
But because children were killed, possibly by knife, I have absolute trust that this is yet another slaughter by NATO proxy Jihadi terrorist scum to blame Assad just before a crucial meeting between Kerry and Lavrov.
