AMMAN, Jordan (AP) -- A new report by the charity Save the Children includes first-hand accounts of alleged atrocities against children in Syria's civil war.

In the report, a 14-year-old boy describes how his family members were blown apart when a rocket fell on a funeral procession.

And a 15-year-old boy describes how he was arrested and tortured. Save the Children says the civil war has left thousands of children dead and many more traumatized.
