A fact-finding committee formed by Syria's new authorities to investigate a wave of deadly violence said on Tuesday the country was determined to "prevent unlawful revenge".
A wave of violence broke out last Thursday, mainly along the Mediterranean coast, the heartland of the Alawite minority, the worst since former president Bashar al-Assad was ousted in December.
Security forces and allied groups killed at least 1,093 civilians since Thursday, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor.
