<blockquote>'A list of 20 sample war crimes indictments of Syrian government officials and rebels has placed President Bashar al-Assad in the top spot, a former international war crimes prosecutor said on Tuesday.

“We have about 20 indictments of those who bear the greatest responsibility. This is a neutral effort. We’re not just going after Assad and his henchman, we are actually documenting all incidents on both sides,” David Crane, an ex-chief prosecutor of the Special Court for Sierra Leone and now head of the Syria Accountability Project told Reuters news agency.'
